Electronic journals in libraries GMCMILLA@VTVM1.BITNET 03 Mar 1992 19:19 UTC

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I recently heard from an electronic journal editor that he expected libraries
to print his journal and put it on their shelves along with traditional jour-
nals.  I was shocked!  The advantages of e-journals include not having to
label, bind, security strip, and shelve them.

Do other e-journal editors expect libraries to be bound by past practices and
traditional formats?

Has anybody else heard from e-journal editors about how they think libraries
should handle electronic publications?
