Fate of History Bibliographies in the Online Environment 2006 ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans Monday June 26, 10:30 am - 12 noon Morial Convention Center Room 294 In today's era of online indexes and electronic bibliographic resources, is the traditional subject bibliography in print going the way of the dinosaur? These guides to the literature have been a mainstay in Reference Collections, covering subjects from the arcane to current topics. Many librarians have found them to be lifesavers in assisting students in a busy reference environment. But are libraries still purchasing these sources and are librarians still using them? It may be that subject bibliographies, typically limited to 240-500 print runs, are no longer profitable in today's world of electronic information. Are publishers still interested in acquiring and selling these tools, even in electronic format? Come hear representatives from major history publishers chat about their acquisition policies regarding subject bibliographies in print and/or in electronic format. A representative from H-Net will offer perspectives regarding other possible venues for these resources. Join in the discussion on the current and future fate of bibliographic resources.
