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 Point for Journals: What's Ahead in the Print to 
Electronic Transition Zone."
