print vs. electronic, and other battles Wayne Jones 18 Aug 2008 18:38 UTC

hello SERIALST,

We're hoping to change some of our print subscriptions to online-only, but
we know there are cases where for whatever reason - and if anyone has any
insights on what those reasons are, I'd be happy to know - the publisher in
fact does not offer online-only ..... you can have it in print-only, and you
can have print+online, but you can't have online-only.

I believe what some libraries do in these cases is simply discard/recycle
the issues as they come in, and content themselves with the online access.

Do any of your libraries do that?

tks, Wayne
