Man, if scholars think online is less real or important they are in for a shock. Libraries have less and less in print in the way of journals. (It’s hard enough to afford any journals, let alone ones in more than one format – and if you’re expecting bound journals? uh, that’s not happening these days.)

Most undergraduates have never seen a print journal in the wild.

I do wonder, though, if online content is cited but it’s considered more ephemeral – what then?
