That's the upshot of recent meetings of UI librarians, in which the library's policy on acquiring journals in print and electronic form was clarified.
Some titles are cheaper, or cost the same as a print subscription.
But the majority are more expensive than their print equivalents, either through surcharges, access fees, or package prices. We have access to electronic text either through aggregators, where the full text is linked through an indexing database, or through subscriptions to individual titles. Individual subscriptions are listed in the catalog with the prefix Internet on the call number. One source of confusion for students and faculty is the presence of URL links in in the library's catalog for e-journals to which the library owns a print subscription, but in fact has no electronic access. In some cases you can use the URL to see the tables of contents or article abstracts, but unless the call number has an Internet prefix, you can t retrieve the article text online.
