<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Registrations
will close at noon on Wednesday, November 9<sup>th</sup> for the NFAIS workshop
– <i>The Erosion of the Subscription Model and Emerging Alternatives</i>.
With major libraries such as the William H. Welch Medical Library at Johns
Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD closing their doors and moving completely
online, it is critical to understand the alternative methods that innovative
librarians are using 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 emerging, are they successful, and what does the future hold for the
subscription model in the distribution of scholarly and scientific information.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

want to learn the answers to these questions, join us on November 10, 2011 when
librarians and content providers will gather in Philadelphia, PA to share their
