Description:
The dire economic situation facing many libraries has forced librarians
to consider cancelling their "Big Deal" journal packages. Although the
merits of leaving a large publisher package can be debated, reductions
in library funding have left some with no other choice. Please join us
for a frank discussion with our panelists who will share their
experiences in dismantling Big Deals and address concerns regarding
publisher negotiations, the impact on document delivery, and reactions
of their user communities.
