Trends, and Technicalities, library professionals from the United
States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia discuss these issues,
the problems they have faced, and the solutions they have developed
for them. From the editor: It is my belief that e-serials will
continue to emerge as the key players in the library world, as the
physical library gradually and inexorably gives way to the virtual
library. As e-journals insinuate themselves throughout the
infrastructures of libraries and expand their reach globally, the
