                WWW JOURNALS:   how do you get them? how should you
                catalog them? why do you want them?  who's doing what?

                TRAINING AND RETRAINING:   how much do your support staff
                use the Internet?  how much do you want them to?

        SERIALS WORKFLOW:  who does what in your library?  how has automation
                affected support staff and librarians?
