Re: Libraries Moving Towards E-Only Access

Hello, Karen. We have gone online-only for several journal packages
(American Chemical Society, American Psychological Association, and
Sage) as well as several individual titles where the faculty are open to
electronic access. Some journals just are not available in electronic
format, so I don't think we will be going entirely electronic. I guess
one caution I have is going with a reliable vendor that has few
technical problems and is maintaining some kind of archive.
