Subject:      ALA Discussion Group - Etexts and Journals

You are invited to a discussion group at ALA:

 The Care and Feeding of Electronic Texts and Journals

 A host of management issues accompany our attempts to offer more and more
 full-text electronic resources to our clientele. These include such
 questions as how decisions are made to network electronic sources, how to
 mount or otherwise provide access, ways to authenticate users, what kind
 of bibliographic control do we provide, how do we educate users and
 provide documentation, how do we handle remote reference, and what about
 the "holy grail" of  single-interface access?

 Join the RASD/MARS Managers in MARS Discussion Group, 4:30-5:30PM on
 Sunday, July 7, at the Plaza Hotel, White & Gold A, at the ALA Annual
 Conference in New York City. You will have a chance to hear how
 colleagues are addressing these issues and share your own experiences and
 concerns. There will also be an election for Vice Chair/Chair-Elect of
 the Discussion Group.
