ALA Discussion Group

[Doris Ann Sweet]

The Care and Feeding of Electronic Texts and Journals

A host of management issues accompany our attempts to offer more and more 
full-text electronic resources to our clientele. These include such 
questions as how decisions are made to network electronic sources, how to 
mount or otherwise provide access, ways to authenticate users, what kind 
of bibliographic control do we provide, how do we educate users and 
provide documentation, how do we handle remote reference, and what about 
the "holy grail" of  single-interface access?

Join the RASD/MARS Managers in MARS Discussion Group, 4:30-5:30PM on 
Sunday, July 7, at the Plaza Hotel, White & Gold A, at the ALA Annual 
Conference in New York City. You will have a chance to hear how 
colleagues are addressing these issues and share your own experiences and 
concerns. There will also be an election for Vice Chair/Chair-Elect of 
the Discussion Group.
