Hello,
Please can anyone help me? My manager has asked me to look for
information which answers the following question:
whether from an economic point of view an academic library should
subscribe to e-only and take a hit on the VAT, or go for print &
electronic and bin the print?
I would be very interested to hear how you are tackling this issue. Has
anyone estimated the cost of binning the print copies? Staff time is
spent opening and dealing with the incoming journals, and the costs of
disposal are involved as well. I will be very grateful for any
responses.
Many thanks,
Simone Smith
