【 摘 要 】

By de-emphasizing the print journal collection our organization has been able to accomplish several goals: provide access to additional digital resources through cost savings; support customers' requirements for information at the desktop; reduce staff costs; free staff time for higher level tasks; and reduce space costs. Print journal cancellations have now become incorporated into the regular routine of our library. We have a proven process in place that we can rely on to provide sound decisions. We have been aided in our successful accomplishments by the enormous support of our customers, our Library Advisory Board and laboratory management. Opportunities and challenges will continue to present themselves as our organization continues to emphasize digital resources over print.
