Abstract
“Going digital” is a trend as libraries have moved into the 21st century. As libraries go digital there is also a move to downscale print collections that are replaced by the digital. But lurking in the print collections are “papersaurs” (print items that should continue to be preserved in print). These need to be discovered before they become extinct. Are there some common characteristics that can be used to identify a “papersaur”?
