Upcoming Events: The Ingenta Institute's 2002 Study 

Little qualitative and quantitative international research has been
undertaken to date to identify the real impact of site licensing and
consortia developments on business models and collection management
strategies.

You are invited to participate in the discussion as a panel of experts
question: 

-To what extent is the consortium site license meeting publisher and library
 objectives? 
-What are the perceived flaws in the model?
-Can we avoid a new serials pricing crisis?
