Part I: The Issues. Libraries, vendors and publishers are facing major changes and additional responsibilities and challenges with the advent of electronic publishing. Representatives from a vendor (Blackwell's Periodicals) and a publisher (Elsevier) will kick-off the meeting by identifying a number of issues faced by those organizations when dealing with the provision of materials in electronic formats. Then it's YOUR turn! We'll form small discussion groups to identify the many issues being faced by acquisitions/serials librarians and their staff when dealing with these materials in addition to their regular workloads. We'll also be thinking about how vendors, publishers and libraries can all be of help to each other. At the end of the meeting, we'll come together to compile our lists of issues. [Stay tuned to ALA Annual, when we'll try to come up with some solutions as well...] For additional information contact the discussion group co-chairs: Amira Aaron Coordinator, Library Automation and Product Development Readmore, Inc. aaron@readmore.com; (617) 860-7224 Dan Gottlieb Head, Acquisitions & Accounting Department Langsam Library University of Cincinnati dan.gottlieb@uc.edu; (513) 556-1464 ** This announcement has been cross-posted to multiple lists.
