Chapter 7: Cancellation and Replacement Review
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.5860/ltr.49n2Abstract
With ever-changing program offerings and a shift in usage of resources, some resources will need to be cancelled. Chapter 7 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 49, no. 2) “Techniques for Electronic Resource Management” covers the process once the decision has been made to cancel and replace a resource. First, notify the patrons of the change. Begin evaluation of replacement products, and do not forget that there may be open-access alternatives. The next phase is then to start the process all over again.
