Hi Sarah

I am not sure about monographs, but for periodical volumes an 
excellent source of information is the CLIR report entitled The 
Nonsubscription Side of Periodicals:  Changes in Library Operations 
and Costs Between Print and Electronic Format.

Report is online at: www.clir.org/pubs/reports/pub127/pub127.pdf

One might extrapolate to monographs (based on their calculations of 
cost of storage) but if anyone has data on monographs only, I’d love 
to see that too J
