Abstract

Libraries continue to struggle with the transition to an online environment. In this session, the presenters discussed periodical cuts and the transition to online-only subscriptions at three large academic libraries. Their journey included identifying potential titles, balancing consortial arrangements, considering available online archives, analyzing statistics, time and budget constraints, as well as binding, available space, and patron demands. The motivation for reducing print will vary from one library to another. However, most libraries will share some or all of the factors to be considered when making the necessary changes. Proper planning can help take the sting out of print reductions. © The North American Serials Interest Group, Inc.
