Subject: Electronic Serials Institute

Nancy Cundiff's question of two weeks ago, "Where are the publishers?"
(regarding the upcoming Electronic Serials Institute), is an important one.
The Faxon Institute's Colloquium on Scholarly Communication Issues last
February was an initial step toward establishing more effective dialogue
between publishers and librarians on critical issues such as aggregating
access
to electronic content. Over 70 library managers and publishing executives
attended and talked with each other directly in a series of moderated
roundtable sessions. This type of dialogue is essential to address
questions such as this and it will continue in future Faxon Institute
programs.
