Subject: Paper on e-journals, library issues

I am the Collection Development Policy Librarian at the National
Library of Australia and I am preparing a position paper for the
Electronic Working Group (a committee of the Australian Vice-
Chancellors Committee)

The topic is electronic publishing, and the requirements libraries have in
the area of access and bibliographical control.

I see the main issues for libraries as

1.      Finding out about electronic resources, and keeping the
        information about them current

2.      Questions of access ie where and how are the electronic
        publications to be made available?

3.      Standards, including bibliographic data supplied by publishers,
        citation standards, cataloguing standards

I would appreciate any comments on additional issues, or observations
on the issues identified above either to the list or directly to me as you
consider appropriate.

Thank you,
