Fowler, David C.2009-11-042009-11-042009The Serials Librarian, Volume 57 Issue 4 20091541-10950361-526Xhttps://hdl.handle.net/1794/9920Introduction; Served as guest editor for the entire issue.The next twelve months to two years will be critical to the future of libraries as they look for new ways to acquire and present materials in a time of declining budgets, but with an ever-demanding user base. Full or partial divestment of Big Deal packages is an inevitable element of this transition. The full impact of how libraries will cope is yet to be known, but it seems inevitable that the publishing landscape will look much different in 2011 and beyond than it does in 2009.en-USElectronic journalsElectronic serialsE-serialsCollection development (Libraries)BundlingUnbundlingBig DealBackfilesArticle
