This installment of "The Balance Point" presents descriptions of existing ideas and activities related to serials management during the current economic situation and with new digital priorities in medium to very large academic library systems.

Featured authors discuss reasons behind changes and provide commentary on progress, next steps and the benefits or drawbacks. Serials Review 2010; 36:161-166.

While the professional literature now abounds with information and perspectives that can help libraries to make the transition from print to e-serials, there has been little focus on the theoretical connections that unite traditional and emerging serials management practices.
