Just to clarify, my numbers were regarding print subscriptions only. Last time I checked (December 2005) we had about 24,000 electronic journals. It would be a bit hard for me to come up with a number of print & online current subscriptions but I would say about 70% of our serials and standing orders print subscriptions are also duplicated in online format. Don't have e-books count.
