current economic climate libraries have limited purchasing power. Academic
budgets are declining while the need for access to digital information is

are seeking alternative methods to access and acquire the content required by
their faculty, students, and researchers. Is resource sharing the answer? Will
purchase on demand work for books and journals? Is the subscription model no
longer viable - even for scholarly materials?  What new business models are
