As serials collection shift from print to digital, the foundations of serials control and management - selecting, pricing, ordering, storing, and archiving - change almost daily and entirely new areas of expertise, most notably licensing, come to the fore. In all disciplines and library communities, librarians must balance changing user needs and expectations with varying vendor offerings while keeping a close watch on institutional and professional trends.
In this book, practicing serials and collections librarians representing a variety of disciplines in the sciences and social sciences as well as law and medicine, describe fresh approaches to some of the complex concerns raised by the new hybrid environment:
archiving, storing, and canceling or retaining print
aggregators and the impact of bundling
pricing models, costs and open access
staffing and processing
By sharing anxieties and well as solutions the editors hope the stage will be set for a dialogue that leads to creative actions for actual and anticipated problems.
