It seems obvious to me. Yes, Arxiv, MathsciNet, Overflow and most Mathematicians keeping preprints and reprints of their papers in their homepages changed everything in front of my eyes and I have been beneficiary of these. But I still can't get myself to the opinion that one should stop subscribing to print copies of Journals. Is that the norm ? So many times I chanced upon a result while browsing through the pages of a Journal; sometime relevant to my own area and sometimes totally unrelated but so exciting that it got me interested in that area. I am asking this as Higher Ups in The University is of the opinion that we should stop subscribing to Print Version Of The Journals. How does one defend the case for need of Print Journals ?
Why should one subscribe to print Journals?
