Abstract

This article discusses the decision that some libraries are making to only provide the electronic version of certain journal subscriptions. The article suggests that this decision would make content searching easier for consumers who can begin looking up their topic right away instead of first trying to locate the issue in the library. Also discussed is the amount of stress that would be relieved from libraries who would no longer have to manage and catalog paper copies.
