Mark,
    If you are interested in finding some published resources on the topic,
see my index at: <http://library.usask.ca/~dworacze/SUBJIN_C.HTM>.

    Check under heading:  Collection development of electronic resources
where you will find page-specific references to some 40 articles published.

Subject: RE: Electronic resources and collection development (Mark Ferguson)

We have debated canceling some our subscriptions, but because we cannot be
guaranteed future access, we are reluctant to take the chance.  However,
for some of the popular titles - Time, Good Housekeeping, Newsweek,
People, Sport Illustrated, etc., we have decided to discontinue microfilm
and binding.  Because we believe that their subscription base is primarily
made up of individual subscriptions rather than institutions, we think it
is unlikely that they will withdraw the full text from EBSCOHost and other
sources if libraries cancel paper subscriptions.  Also, since we are an
academic library, our need for long term access to these titles in
minimal. If full text access is discontinued in the future, we may rethink
this decision because for the possible "missing" years, we will have to
rely on ILL.

We have also found that some accrediting agencies place little value on
electronic resources.  If you don't own it, they don't seem to count it.
We are in the process of developing a written policy for all of this and I
too would like to know that others are thinking.
