"Showdown in the Serials Aisle: Corralling Electronic Journals"

The proliferation of electronic journals and full-text titles available
through research databases has challenged and changed the ways in which
libraries operate.

This workshop will provide opportunities to examine the ways in which
Libraries are experimenting with changes in how they provide access to
these resources, plan and budget to support subscriptions, and identify
procedures and staffing needed to support the selection, acquisition,
cataloging, and distribution of these materials.

In addition to presentations about new and existing library services and
resources, this session will include a series of round table discussions.
Workshop participants will have the opportunity to suggest topics for
the round tables prior to the meeting.

Opportunities to tour OCLC's facility will follow the workshop.
