I'm in cataloging, not acquisitions, but we carry a large number of
titles that do not exist electronically, particularly our African and
Latin American titles, not to mention the annual reports, directories
and bulletins from small organizations that are not yet online.

Of course, I see more and more of these annuals that are ONLY
electronic.

Subject: [SERIALST] Libraries Moving Towards E-Only Access

Dear Serialisters,

Just out of curiosity, I am wondering how many libraries out there have
dropped their entire print collections/subscriptions and gone E-only!

I am hearing about more and more libraries following this trend and was
wondering how it has worked out for them and why they decided to make
that move.  Thanks!!  I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best,
