> collection?

> * Is the electronic journal union listed?
> * What are the copyright implications for
> interlibrary loan and
> the electronic reserve room?
> * Can the traditional structure of the library function in the
> electronic era?
> * How do the acquirers, negotiators, catalogers, and
> ILL staff communicate?
> * Who makes the decisions, answers the questions,
> lives with the
> consequences?
>
> Join us in discussing these issues! Come find answers!
