And sometimes the artwork that's in the print version isn't reproduced in
the electronic version at all. You just get one or more empty boxes among
the text of the article.  I assume it's for copyright reasons.

I just want to add one issue for you to consider when you are going
E-materials. Some art journals do not have good quality of the pictures in
online version, and we need to keep the print version as well as the
online one.

Subject: [SERIALST] Advice on moving titles from print to electronic

All responses to this question will be greatly appreciated.

Our library is working to eliminate duplicate coverage of serials titles
that we may have in both print and electronic formats. We want to replace
print coverage with electronic coverage whenever possible.

1. I am wondering if anyone out there may have done a similar project in
the past and if so, what advice you may have on how to successfully
complete such an inventory?

2. Post-subscription coverage of electronic titles (perpetual access) is a
major concern. So, I am also wondering if anyone has any advice on how to
go about deciding what titles to keep in print and which ones to keep in
electronic format?

Thank you very much!
