PROGRAM TITLE:
Outsourcing Book Selection and Cataloging in Hawaii:
A Critical Examination

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Hawaii Model of outsourcing differs radically from approval plans,
collection profiles, and other common collection aids.  Find out what
happened when the entire book budget and core library functions of
materials selection and cataloging were handed over to a private
corporation for 5 1/2 years.  Hawaii librarians will detail the history,
implementation, and impact of this approach.
