Subject: FULL TEXT EJOURNALS AND PRINTING COSTS

Hello, everybody!

We are moving along with full text ejournals here at Tufts and I have a
question I hope you can help us with. How do you folks handle the costs
involved with patrons printing articles from these journals? Do you pass
them along? How do you determine what is a fair price? We have done
some research in trying to estimate what the avge # of articles/pages
per journal is -- has anyone done it differently? How has printing from
ejournals impacted your library?

Thanks for any insight you can give us.
