Subject: Announcement: Journal Costs in Libraries Discussion Group at 
ALA Midwinter

The ALCTS CRS Journal Costs in Libraries Discussion Group invites you to 
attend:

It’s Like Déjá Vu, All Over Again: Evolving Pricing Models for E-Books
Sunday, January 13, 4:00-6:00 pm
Radisson Plaza, Crystal Ballroom


They’re not journals, but with proliferating pricing models, access 
fees, a variety
of platforms, and a host of questions about future directions, e-books 
are the
e-journal’s kissing cousin. Addressing questions about what they need 
and want
in models for providing and pricing e-book content are:

Dennis Dillon, Associate Director, University of Texas Libraries
Michael McCullough, Sales Manager, Duke University Press
Leo de Vos, Head of Pricing, Elsevier
Scott B. Wicks, Interim Assistant University Librarian, Cornell University

Please join us for a lively exchange of positions and ideas!

For more information, please contact Clint Chamberlain
(chair; c.chamberlain_at_austin.utexas.edu) or Kim Steinle
(vice chair; ksteinle_at_dukeupress.edu) of the
Journal Costs in Libraries Discussion Group.
