Mid-Atlantic Chapter/MLA Annual Meeting Poster
Presentation

“Sky Rockets 24/7” was the poster theme presented to the MAC/MLA meeting in Raleigh, N.C. this October by Anne Linton, representing members of the Journals@Himmelfarb committee. The poster represented the culmination of a year’s work by the committee. This intra-library committee has discussed the critical issues surrounding transitioning print journal subscriptions to electronic access only. In response to these discussions, collection development policies were created to reflect both print and electronic resources, a model electronic license was created, and department heads were surveyed as to the usefulness and format preference for titles in their subject area. These activities were outlined on the poster along with an analysis of the survey results. Anne reported the poster was well-received, garnering many positive comments.
