Apart from user reaction in not having print.. would cancelling print affect this pricing - i.e. is there a print / e-journal pricing agreement?
If not - how about cancelling print? And would that compensate for the increase in electronic subscription rates?. Whatever - I think the House of Commons committee should be informed!
