Abstract
The movement to replace print serials subscriptions with electronic or electronic-only subscriptions has been underway in academic libraries since the late 1990s. However, recent research, publishers' policies, and the experiences of libraries that have deliberately chosen to move in this direction suggest that there is a fairly well-defined limit to the percentage of serial titles that can be obtained electronically. This article describes the results of a serials inventory project at the Auburn University Libraries (Alabama) which resulted in moving 56 percent of its journal titles to electronic-only format but left the libraries with 30 percent of its collection remaining in print-only format.
