What are the obstacles to dropping print? Research shows that most readers prefer to read from print given current screen technologies – but today journal readers in many subject disciplines are typically reading a locally-printed copy of the online article rather than sharing the library’s single printed issue. Librarians are concerned about continuing access to journals if a subscription is terminated, or if a publisher should go out of business. Long-term preservation of digital assets is still an unknown quantity – can we be sure that online journals will be accessible decades or more into the future?

Conversely, what opportunities can dropping print offer? Is the need for print holding back the take-up of open access journals and other innovative business models? The “big deal” is one example of bundling publications thus broadening access and usage through online-only access to more marginal publications. Other marketing opportunities include new type of business model and other kinds of bundling.
