Announcement: Continuing Resources Costs in Libraries Interest Group at
ALA Annual

The ALCTS CRS Costs in Libraries Interest Group invites you to attend:

Pricing Book and Journal Backlist Content as an Electronic Resource

Sunday, June 29, 4:00-5:30 pm

Anaheim Convention Center, Room 221 A

As electronic resources are becoming the format of choice in many
libraries, publishers are retrodigitizing older content previously
available only in print. Publishers will share their approaches and
concerns, while a librarian will represent the library’s perspective of
needs in models for providing and pricing backlist content.

Rick Anderson, Assoc. Dir. for Scholarly Resources & Collections,
University of Utah, Marriott Library
Adam Chesler, Assistant Director, Library Relations and Customer
Service, American Chemical Society
Heather Ruland Staines, Global eProduct Manager SpringerLink

We will leave time at the end for an update from Judy Luther, President,
Informed Strategies, on SERU (A Shared Electronic Resource
Understanding), published as part of NISO's Recommended Practice series.

Please join us for a lively discussion!

For more information, please contact Clint Chamberlain (chair;
c.chamberlain@austin.utexas.edu) or Kim Steinle (vice chair;
ksteinle@dukeupress.edu) of the Continuing Resources Costs in Libraries
Interest Group.
