Description

The effective management of a library's subscriptions has become increasingly more complex in the electronic environment, transforming the three-way partnership among libraries, publishers, and agents. This panel, consisting of recognized leaders representing each group, will discuss the changing roles each play in the life cycle of subscription management from initial ordering through invoicing, renewals, and setup and maintenance of access, particularly under licensing terms for "big deal" agreements, subject collections, and boutique collections from publishers
