Personally I use both the paper and the electronic -- it really depends on
what I need.
One of my concerns about the electronic version is that it is often not very
current. If I need someone's address and they are not listed...I can
usually refer back to an older print copy to verify a correct address.
Perhaps HQ could offer to print and bind copies of the mailing list for a
fee (this could be paid anytime, for example, and not be linked to member
dues). Or, perhaps ARLIS/NA or HQ could create an account with a
print-on-demand firm to generate bound copies as needed for a set cost?
I think in this time of transition from print to electronic, for the
Handbook, offering both options might best suit all of our needs.
Sincerely,
Tony White
