The landscape
n Increasing reliance on electronic accessn Actively canceling print to afford
continued access when we cannot continue both
n Increasing number of titles available electronically

The landscape
n Much attention paid to increasing access n OpenURL technologyn Federated searchingn Citation software
n Viewed as a collection expensen Much attention paid to statistics

The landscapen Linking is “mission critical”
n SFX controls 29,963 full-text copies• 17,581 unique titles
n Backfiles are purchased and usedn Looking for ways to stabilize ongoing
expenses –even when this means paying more now
n Purchasing almost no new print titles when electronic version is available
