Fenton, Eileen Gifford Electronic Libraries Library Automation Electronic Journals Academic Libraries Library Materials Without question, the ongoing transition from print to electronic periodicals has challenged librarians to rethink their strategies. While some effects of this change have been immediately apparent--greater breadth of material, easier access, exposure to new sources, publisher package deals, and open access--the broader outcomes on library operations remain unclear.

This article discusses this issue in detail and what can be done to implement this transition. |
