               CONSORTIAL ARRANGEMENTS: THE REAL DEAL

              Monday   June 30, 1997   9:30-11:00 am
                    Hotel Nikko, Grey Pearl 1

Consortial arrangements for electronic resources are now in vogue,
but most libraries are learning as they go. Come hear what
publishers, vendors, librarians, and consorial administrators with
experience in the negotiating trenches have to tell us about:

        **Defining Consortia**
        **Consortial** licensing agreements,
        **Consortial** pricing models
        **Intra-Consortial** service issues

and other issues regarding these arrangements.

Bring your questions to ask the panelists...

 ... and join us at the PVLRC Open Forum.

See you by the Bay!
