ABSTRACT

What does industry consolidation mean for libraries, publishers, and vendors? The panel members were each given five minutes to talk about the state of mergers in the serials publishing industry from their perspective. They represented the viewpoint of a librarian, vendor, and publisher. This report paraphrases the conversation that filled this session with important ideas and concerns that need to be studied more thoroughly. Note: this report is based on the Saturday session only.
