Another one bites the dust…

چکیده
Last week, I received one of those dreaded annual emails. That’s right, the now almost routine one asking faculty to voice their support, or lack thereof, for the ever-declining number of hard copy journals still being purchased by the library. As an associate professor of public health recently promoted to chair of the department, I appreciate their position, of course. The dominance and ease of online access to journal databases increasingly marginalizes such resources. The very idea of actually reading a hard copy of an article in its natural context (that is, within the actual physically printed issue) seems increasingly quaint, if not to say ludicrous, as time goes on. In an era of budget constraints and concerns over value for money, the library faculty and staff are only showing due diligence in financial oversight.
