As a smaller publisher with only one title, we find this discussion very
interesting. We have been struggling to price our print and online
subscriptions to be in line with other journals. The problem is that it's
difficult to find out pricing models from one publisher to another, in
particular for online subscriptions. As librarians, what pricing model do
you prefer? Do you have any ideas as to how to offer our articles to you
within your budget? What do you want to see publishers do to help libraries
meet the needs of their patrons? Out of the box suggestions would be most
welcome! Feel free to email me off list at sharonL@psychiatrist.com.

Thank you.

I totally agree with this. I can definitely see selective returns to print.
Heck, we still get over a 1,000 titles in print (though some of the first
things to go in this year's cancellation project is print subs). What I
cannot see is a long-term reality that involves lots of current print
journals. Even if libraries want it, I think the writing is on the wall in
terms of publishers producing print versions of their journals.

I think this is very true for many institutions.  We do have concerns, as
Sarah Tusa has already articulated, about pricing models and licence
agreements which restrict access in a way which was never the case with
print - however, as print has declined and e-journals have become the
standard route into academic articles for many, we have utilised the space
for study areas, for learning spaces, for computer clusters, in order to
support the changing student experience.  I really doubt that for many, a
wholesale change back to print would be desirable, or indeed feasible.  The
publishing world has changed too much as well - some publishers are actively
considering or planning to wind down their production of titles in print,
particularly in STM disciplines.

For us this would be impossible simply because of space concerns.   As
online replaced print, we used our space for other things and I don't think
there is any way to get it back.
