I agree with Jonathan. I recall the ordeals and expense of a printed directory when I was ARLIS/NA president ten years ago and the complaints the product always generated. Having a 'live' version that can be updated as needed makes sense. Creating a pdf version of the handbook and directory at least once a year would also be practical: members could print/download the files they wanted and HQ could print an archival paper copy.

I would prefer the considerable money and effort required to produce the printed version (as the volunteer editor of a recent one, I know whereof I speak) to go into maintaining and improving the on-line.
