Full Text Journals...Convenience or Compromise
If you are subscribed to the Medlib listserv you have seen the recent chatter about shifting to only ejournals and print vs. online discussions.

Electronic Full-Text Journal Articles: Convenience or Compromise
By Kathleen E. Joswick, Reference Librarian,
Leslie F. Malpass Library, Western Illinois University
T.H.E. Journal
June 2005 Web Exclusive
It is another article that looks at the promises and pitfalls of online articles. Not only are the issues of aggregators and permanence discussed, but so are patron searching patterns, the Internet, and the over abundance of information. It is not written from a medical library perspective, however it nicely illustrates all the same issue we face too.
