Just to clarify, my numbers were regarding print
subscriptions only.  Last time I checked (December 2005) we
had about 24,000 electronic journals.  It would be a bit
hard for me to come up with a number of print & online
current subscriptions but I would say about 70% of our
serials and standing orders print subscriptions are also
duplicated in online format.
Don't have e-books count.  Sorry about that.
