The Shift Away From Print

Title:The Shift Away From Print (ID: CSD4383)
Author(s):Eileen G. Fenton (Portico) and Roger C. Schonfeld (Ithaka)
Source:Inside Higher Ed
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2005)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:"For most scholarly journals, the transition away from the print format and to an exclusive reliance on the electronic version seems all but inevitable, driven by user preferences for electronic journals and concerns about collecting the same information in two formats. But this shift away from print, in the absence of strategic planning by a higher proportion of libraries and publishers, may endanger the viability of certain journals and even the journal literature more broadly — while not even reducing costs in the ways that have long been assumed."
