Dear Dr. Rubin,
I wonder if MERIA would consider changing the format of its electronic
publication to being mounted on a website, and having the subscription
price include access to the website and to the archive of back issues, as
other e-journals do.
I am interested in hearing how other librarians feel about being obliged
to maintain an e-mail subscription to an "electronic" journal which must
then be printed out, or mounted locally (with all the maintenance that
that would entail), in order to be distributed to users.
Many thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.
