My response (I can't speak for my library as a whole) would depend on the
titles in question and our current practices for that title.
[1] If we got the consolidated series and each individual series (unlikely),
 we would probably get the consolidated series on CD-ROM and each individual
one in paper. However, price is a big factor here. We are all looking at
serial cuts.
[2] If we got only a few individual series, we would probably continue to
get them in paper. However, if we got most of the individual series, we
might opt to get the whole thing on CD-ROM and discontinue the paper.
[3] If we got the consolidated journal, we would probably get it on CD-ROM
and forget about paper altogether. But-- there are other factors to
consider: first is price, but there might also be issues of format-- are
there lots of graphics, what kind of equipment is that going to require for
reading and reproduction.
This is not an easy or simple question to answer. It would depend a lot on
individual titles and specific needs of the institution.  In general,
though, I would prefer CD-ROM as a storage medium, where appropriate, for
journals that are vital to the collection, but not in high use, provided
that the cost is not prohibitive and provided that they can be reproduced
in paper copy on demand.
