This is a reminder that tomorrow is another (exciting?) episode of The
Law Librarian, on BlogTalkRadio, with your hosts, Brian Striman and
Richard Leiter.
We'd also love to hear from any one who attended the China Conference
last week.... If you'd like to share some comments about the
conference, please let me know. We'll reserve some time to hear from
you. - RL
=========================================
The topic this week on "The Law Librarian", a call-in internet radio
talk-show/podcast will be,
"Handling Electronic Titles in Law Libraries."
Does your library struggle with how to handle electronic titles in
your library? What does "ownership" mean in today's digital world? Or
"patron access?"
Please join Brian Striman and me for a discussion on "The Law
Librarian," which will air at 2:00PM Central Time, this Friday, June 5.
We expect to have a distinguished panel of of law librarians on the
air to discuss issues surrounding access, control and use of
electronic titles in law libraries.
The url for the show is http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thelawlibrarian/.
You can listen live at the website or download the show at a later
time for use as a podcast. 'Live' listeners can call in with
questions, comments or can join in the conversation. From the show's
website you can listen to the show live or join the chat room and
comment on the show or ask questions via chat. The call-in phone
number is 347-945-7183.
Topics that will be considered are,
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?
....and much, much more.
