The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) is offering a webcast on the findings of the ARL Ad Hoc Task Force on Best Practices for Counting Serial Titles and the way the work of the group has informed changes in the ARL Statistics 2007–08 survey. The webcast will be held December 10, 2008, 1:00-1:45 p.m. eastern time.
Joyce McDonough (Director, Continuing and Electronic Resources Management, Columbia University), a member of the task force, will discuss her engagement with the task force and how her library implemented new counting procedures for serials. Martha Kyrillidou (Director, ARL Statistics and Service Quality Programs) and Julia Blixrud (Assistant Executive Director, External Relations, ARL), will offer background on the work of the task force and how the revised definitions are working for libraries.

Karen,
consortial and freely accessible would be electronic.
Print and other formats that are not govenment documents should go under
Print.
Government documents will include both print and electronic.
Yes, the new categories are moving away from the duality of
print/electronic in some ways — in useful ways though.
Thank you for asking.
Best, Martha

It’s confusing because 4b doesn’t seem to be divided into print and electronic as 4a is. Yet, this one 4b category just says Print and other format which, to me, means all formats. Please clarify.
