Even if their main subscriber base is libraries (which tends to want to have things on shelves) the modern library would probably be fine having all the issues available on line for some sort of a library patron accessible means. Perhaps a double password system that would let the librarian hand out temporary passwords for the equivalent of "checking out" the magazine, but keep password control so the person checking out the temporary password couldn't change the password and let no one else check it out or have two people "check out" the web site at the same time.
