I. Is there a future for print collections?

 
  • Yes, at least for the time being
     
  • Factors affecting print collections:
       
        limited library $ for new purchases
        publisher pricing
       
        availability of information through the free web

        accessibility of web sources
        ease of web use
        more quality, authoritative information is freely available through the web
