Dear Ms. Deepali Agarwal,
Thanks for your post.
The best or truly speaking, the safest way of discarding journals is on the basis of reported half lives & obsolescence period studies of journals. In that case, you can refer the article for your defense in case of need and accountability.
Incidentally, one article by Philip M. Davis has been published in Library Journal January 2014 issue regarding Journal half lives. It reports that Engineering Journals have average half lives of 3 to 4 years. I am attaching the full paper for your deliberation.
I hope you will find the article useful for your decision. However, Please consult with your Library Committee members and get it officially resolved in the Library Committee so that you can remain in the safe side.
Additionally, I would like to mention that the nature of purposive consultation of journals in advanced countries and in our country may often vary. Especially in academic Institutional setting the variation may be quite significant. So, to remain on the safe side, please involve your academic staff in decision making so that a collective decision can be made.
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
