The current issue is on the homepage, for earlier articles just use the search box. We are also available though proprietary databases. If one wants to get hot and bothered about open access and professional literature, look no further than ALA, where most of the publications (Public Libraries, Reference and Users Services Quarterly) are behind a paywall/membership wall. With so many librarians advocates for open access, it's interesting that our largest professional organization chooses otherwise.

That is a wonderful turn of a phrase. I could say the same for myself, as Summer Reading has just about turned my brain to mush.

So the issue is not necessarily one of relying on print, but of these journals allowing open access to their content.
