ABSTRACT
Electronic journals and aggregated databases affect the roles and tasks of public service librarians in several ways. Jeanie Welch and Melissa Holmberg discuss significantly different roles they have acquired as a result of their libraries’ electronic journals and aggregated databases. Welch elaborates on her changing roles in collection development as she evaluates serial collections in a mixed print and electronic environment, decides which print serials titles to cancel when duplicated by full-text electronic access, and negotiates new print serials when electronic access is not available. Holmberg describes her new role of partnering with Instructional Technology to educate teaching faculty about full-text 318electronic resources that legally and technologically can be incorporated into online course materials.
