Why bother keeping the print journals at all?
Despite often receiving little use, large back runs of journals still contain a wealth of knowledge which holding libraries are often obliged to continue providing access to. The increase of digital content means that many of these titles are now available online, however the long term stability of this form of access remains untested. By retaining a minimum number of print collections duplicated across multiple locations, the UKRR is helping libraries balance the need to secure long-terms access with the desire to re-purpose this space.
