“…Some libraries don't have storage options but most of those that do are considering moving the cancelled material. At least for the short term, there is no evidence that space needs was a primary factor in the cancellations (though space concerns have prompted print cancellations elsewhere, such as at the University of Texas at Dallas 3) . The net result, then, would be large runs of non-current journals in the open stacks, with brief periods of overlap between print and online holdings, and then electronic-only after a certain point.…”

ABSTRACT. The Canadian university library members of two consortial ejournal arrangements were surveyed to determine how many of the corresponding print journals had been cancelled as a result of participation in the online packages. The survey results indicated that the number of current print subscriptions held by the libraries had notably decreased. This paper discusses this loss of print and presents two options, with examples, for dealing with the archiving of print journals, Distributed Print Archiving and Back-up Repositories. The question of whether anything really needs to be done is also addressed.
