New media in libraries

[Sallie Becker]

Would very much like to know what sort of responses you get, as I have 
just recently (two weeks ago) be thrown into the same type of position, 
newly created at my library.  I've been given collection development and 
management resposibility for all electronic media, including CD, in-house 
and commercial databases, and Internet.  I'm expecting a bumpy ride. :-)

I've been looking around for pertinent info; just this morning I 
discovered the Librarian's Professional Resources Web page, at URL 
www.cfcsc.dnd.ca/links/lib - there are a lot of documents under their 
Digital Library heading.

Hope you get some useful responses,

Sallie
