Reminder: Managing Electronic Titles and Materials This Afternoon

Richard Leiter and Brian Striman discuss the challenges of electronic titles in law libraries on their BlogTalkRadio program, The Law Librarian, today at 3:00 pm (Eastern). The call-in phone number for Managing Electronic Titles and Materials is 347-945-7183. Topics will include:

• How should electronic titles be cataloged?

• How should local cataloging records reflect remote subscription holdings?

• How should "holding" be defined with respect to electronic titles? Is the ABA definition adequate?

• If your library subscribes to all or a portion of HeinOnline, do you "hold" all those titles?

• Are OPACS the proper place to record access to electronic titles, or do we rely on vendor websites?

• How do you provide access to electronic holdings to non-institutional patrons? (Ie., members of the public)

• How do you keep track of electronic serials?

• How does access to electronic titles affect existing or future binding policies?

Should be very informative. If you can't listen to the live program, you will be able to download the podcast. [JH]
