Looking ahead to when the law library community begins seriously to
replace its printed journals with electronic subscriptions, what have
you heard or pondered regarding how libraries will handle ABA
statistics reporting. Although number of $ spent on subscriptions
vs. 'books' will remain a useful statistic, the respective
print volume and title count ratios (derived from a tally of
shelflist units) will become commensurately less meaningful (if not
already meaningless). Will print vol./title counts be history?
Restricted only to non-supplemented monographs? What rumors of
ABA inclinations have you heard, and what are your thoughts?
