Please join us for the panel discussion:  "Making the Switch from Print
to Online: Why, When, and How"

When:  Sunday, June 29th, 1:30-3:30

Where:  ACC (Anaheim Convention Center), Rm. 204 B

Is your library moving from a print based collection to an increasingly
online collection?  Panelists will examine the issues of switching from
print to online from several different viewpoints.  Two colleagues, one
from a large STM publisher and the other from a university press, will
describe the challenges associated with maintaining both print and
online formats, and when and under what conditions they would choose to
provide e-only.  Two librarians will discuss the issues and
decision-making strategies associated with dropping print and moving to
e-only.

Moderator:

Judy Luther, Informed Strategies.  Judy is President of Informed
Strategies and co-author of the ARL white paper "The E-only Tipping
