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:
