"Print in the Post-Electronic World: When Just in Case Becomes Just in
Time"
Sunday June 26, 2005
1:30 - 3:30 pm

Join us for a moderated panel discussion which will focus on how the
decisions we are making about our print collections are being impacted
by our growing and developing electronic collections.  Issues such as
off-site (shared or not) repositories, archiving, access, print
subscriptions are all part of the mix that will be discussed.

Speakers will include:

 - Bill DeJohn - Executive Director of Minitex, the statewide consortium
for Minnesota.  Bill will speak to the collection development responses
of both educational and public libraries. 
 - Jim Dooley - Head of Technical Services at the new UC Merced library
- Merced is a new campus with a new library and Jim will be talking
about how decisions were made about their collection, which is
predominantly electronic. 
 - Carol MacAdam - Associate Director for Library Relations at JSTOR -
Carol will talk about her perceptions of the impact their program is
having on member libraries collection activities 
 

The program is co-sponsored by RUSA CODES, LITA Electronic
Publications/Electronic Journals Interest Group.
