Managing Electronic Resources: Meeting the Challenge
Philadelphia, Friday, January 24, 2003
8:00 am - 4:30 pm
 
Acquiring electronic resources can be a mixed blessing.  With the click of
a mouse, a wealth of information is accessible, yet managing this
abundance of riches can be overwhelming and confusing.  The one-day
symposium "Managing Electronic Resources: Meeting the Challenge" will
offer practical information and alternatives for dealing with these
valuable and extremely expensive resources.  Librarians in all types and
sizes of libraries will find this symposium informative and worthwhile.
