Hi Phil et al
I expect HERs' attachment to paper reports is also a pragmatic one - its far easier to read from paper for curators and HER users, easier to provide physical access to visitors without potential IT security issues, and avoids the economic and environmental costs of printing on demand. Until HERs have been able to carry out mass digitisation project which make all resources available remotely, the act of visiting the HER for any planning or research activities will be a vital part of the process.

On a more serious note, if slightly off-topic, with regards to the actual printed copies of reports, GL etc., one of the interesting things which came out of our recent face-to-face interviews with HERs for the Data Sources Project was how many of them prefer paper to digital.
I'm not saying this is true of all HER's, or any other organisation for that matter, but it was the majority opinion of those we interviewed. It seems to come down to being able to trust something you can hold.
