ABSTRACT

The transition of journals to electronic-only format has begun. There is evidence that suggests that libraries often cancel journals in a reactive and incremental fashion in the face of annual budgetary pressures, but this approach is not ideal. To achieve an effective transition away from print, individual libraries should take a strategic perspective. This article reviews some of the most important aspects of library strategic planning and recommends complementary approaches that can be taken on the consortial and system-wide levels. doi:10.1300/J123v52n01_15 [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-HAWORTH.
