0100,0100,0100Hello everyone, Our Head Librarian, Mary Lochhead wondered if I could post the following questions on her behalf, and if there are any suggestions please post to the list or email Mary at: [log in to unmask] Has there been any discussion on the ARLIS listserv about cancelling print journals and keeping electronic? Have librarians talked about strategies they used to keep print (e.g. convincing the people with the money). Do they feel keeping print is more important than electronic. Have they had feedback from users on having to use electronic? Has anyone done a comparison of print and electronic "equivalents" to find out if they truly are equivalent. If there hasn't been much discussion do you think it would be worth sending out a question to the list? There seems to be a push to cancel print for electronic (as per the Collections Committee minutes) and I would like to show how other art/arch libraries have handled this issue. thanks, Liv Liv Valmestad, Reference Librarian (Information Detective) Architecture/Fine Arts Library University of Manitoba TEL: 204 474 8447 FAX: 204 474 7539 [log in to unmask] __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org//membership.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Kerri Scannell) at: [log in to unmask]
