Dear Nick - I would be interested in publishing a note on your results in Interlending and Document Supply. Would you be interested? It need be only short say 500 words? Next deadline is end of April.
All the best Mike (Editor ILDS)

Subject: Re: Moving to e-only for journals - please respond
Just to say thank you to the 18 institutions who have responded so far.
The results and comments(!) are very interesting and I will endeavour to
have a summary for the list soon. If anyone else was intending to reply,
I'd be grateful if you could do so within the next week. The more replies
I get the more helpful the results will be. The original email is copied
below.
In the summary I won't be mentioning specific people or institutions, but
I would like to quote some of the comments. Those of you who have already
replied, if you are not happy with this proposal, please send me an email
to say that you wish your previous input to be completely confidential.
One institution has already stated this in their reply.
Thanks again
Nick
