ABSTRACT
SUMMARY. This article discusses the issue of costs related to managing print and digital collections in an environment of increasing digital content that replicates the University’s collective print collections. The University of California, with funding from the Mellon Foundation, has been administering an experiment to determine user acceptance and costs incurred when print journals are placed in remote storage and users must rely on the digital versions. As part of the grant project, the University has been gathering cost information and planning future scenarios for preserving a limited number of print copies in storage and relying on electronic versions. The article describes the project briefly and how it relates to the funding issues of supporting digital and print collections.
