*ALCTS webinar: Effective Subscription Management and Alternatives*
*Date: February 15, 2012 *
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
*Description*: Libraries are facing opposing pressures of reduced
budgets, patron demand for new content, and increasing costs. This
webinar will present a method to collect and analyze cost and use data
to evaluate your journal collection (including how to analyze that Big
Deal). The presenters will discuss a variety of alternatives to
subscriptions to enable patron access to needed content. Presenters will
also discuss how to effectively communicate journal access changes with
faculty.
*Learning Outcomes*: Upon completion of this session, attendees will
have learned a method to evaluate journals in the library's collection
and alternatives to subscriptions, in the event of cancellation or a
decision not to purchase.
*Audience*: All levels of library staff with responsibilities for
acquisitions and collection management
*Presenters*:

Collection Manager for the Sciences at the Wellesley College Library.

Science. Her interests as a librarian are ebooks, handheld reading
