The ALCTS PVLR (Publisher-Vendor-Library Relations) Interest Group will
present an open forum at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in San Diego, entitled:
"HERE TODAY, GONE TOMORROW: WHY ONLINE CONTENT DISAPPEARS"
Unexpected withdrawal of online content from electronic databases is a major
concern to library subscribers. This session will begin with a brief
overview of the issue, describing high-profile incidents such as Tasini v.
New York Times, the Economist's court-ordered withdrawal of content judged
libelous, and Sage Publications' decision to remove its journal content from
aggregator databases. Librarians' concerns will also be outlined briefly.
Once the context has been established, panelists from Elsevier, EBSCO and
LexisNexis will address the issue from their vantage points as publisher and
aggregators. Topics covered will include publisher policies on article
withdrawal, notification of customers, compensation for withdrawn material,
and legal aspects of the debate. At least 30 minutes will be reserved for
audience comment and discussion, in which digital archiving, treatment of
defamatory or inaccurate content, plagiarism, and other topics will be
addressed.
Presenters include:
Rick Lugg, R2 Consulting (Moderator)
Davies Menefee, Director, Library Relations, the Americas, Elsevier
Sam Brooks, Senior Vice President, EBSCO
Dawn Conway, Vice President, Content & Business Development, LexisNexis
DATE: Monday, January 12, 2004
TIME: 9:30-11 AM
PLACE: San Diego Marriott
New York/Orlando Rooms
Please join us for this important and timely session.
