(ALCTS/CMDS/CDER)

Please join us for the panel discussion: "Making the Switch from Print 
to Online: Why, When, and How"

When: Sunday, June 29th, 1:30-3:30

Where: ACC (Anaheim Convention Center), Rm. 204 B

Is your library moving from a print based collection to an increasingly 
online collection?
Panelists will examine the issues of switching from print to online from 
several different viewpoints.
Two colleagues, one from a large STM publisher and the other from a 
university press, will describe
the challenges associated with maintaining both print and online 
formats, and when and under what
conditions they would choose to provide e-only. Two librarians will 
discuss the issues and
decision-making strategies associated with dropping print and moving to 
e-only.

Moderator:

Judy Luther, Informed Strategies. Judy is President of Informed 
Strategies and co-author
of the ARL white paper "The E-only Tipping Point for Journals: What’s 
Ahead in the Print to
Electronic Transition Zone."
