We have copies of the reports of the Cornell University Library Task Force on Electronic Journals and the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Task Force on Electronic Journals. Are there any more relevant reports to which we could have access? We are interested in policies for all electronic formats, however, not just journals. Thanks very much in advance. I have sent this message for a colleague who is not a member of this group; please send all replies to me. Thanks very much.

This is a new one on us. Can you recommend a vendor who handles something this exotic? Harrassowitz does not.

If so, I would be interested in hearing about your experiences and any "helpful hints" which can be offered.
