SUMMARY Robert Alan reported on the development of ERLIC2, Penn States tracking system, which will include optical imaging of critical documentation such as licenses, access and authentication information, financial information, and statistics for library staff, as well as information on access problems and new products. Lai-Ying Hsiung reported on how UCSC is using the Web-based program Request Tracker to receive queries from their users, share responsibility for responding to these communications, and archive the resolved transactions. Both projects satisfy specific local needs in responding to the problem of managing electronic resources.

As libraries migrate to new integrated library management systems, MARC holdings implementation often becomes an option or a requirement. The implementation of MARC holdings can be a long-term process but there are long-term advantages to using the standard. Penn State University Libraries implemented MARC holdings for serials in conjunction with their migration to a new library management system and the need to manage and display holdings information for a multi-campus library system. The implementation of MARC holdings coupled with a system implementation can be challenging for all staff. Short-term and long-term goals for holdings display and management need to be developed.

Abstract Nine serials librarians describe their experiences and offer advice on achieving tenure, promotion, or reappointment. The librarians represent a variety of academic institutions and stages of career, from untenured new librarians to administrators at the rank of full professor. Despite unique insights based on their different experience levels, professional positions, and institutional promotion and tenure requirements, the librarians share common opinions on how best to achieve success in an academic position.
