We have exactly that situation here at Milner Library/ Illinois State
University. We receive several titles in print format through our vendor
Faxon Academic. These same titles are also available electronically in full
text through IDEAL USA. Since we buy the full package from IDEAL this
entitles us to what IDEAL calls a deep discount for any print subscriptions
we have to their titles.  But you have to specifically request this discount
from your vendors.
