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!
