Editors tend to use electronic files to create material for digitally disabled users the need to preserve the print copy is
therefore less relevant.
If properly digitized, it should not matter to provide access to content if the electronic version is incomplete or
digitization quality is poor.
Preserving intrinsic value of the physical artifact is not critical for all academic disciplines.
Print preservation is always important where e-versions are not complete or adequate, e.g., images and attachments/
enclosures, and many copies are needed so as to authenticate a permanent version that cannot be altered unilaterally.
