She has been active in a number of other international projects and initiatives.

Was this at all predictable in 1981?  Take a look at where we came from, where we are today and where we are going.  When I started in the library business a dial-up modem at 1200 baud was really fast!  Who could have predicted where we are today?  Certainly what libraries provide for their patrons, and their patrons’ expectations, have dramatically changed the way we do business.  The resources and services we now offer have altered what we do and how we do it; every aspect of what we do has been transformed.In this issue you will find articles about a new delivery method for electronic resources, e-content procurement, access models and technology, and con-tent integration written by some of the most forward-thinking librarians, vendors, and developers in our business. We can always rely on Peter McCracken (ShipIndex) to assist us with thinking “out-of-the-box.”  His article about pay-per-use proposes a new approach to procuring content and gives us some insight into where we may be going in the near future.  Co-writers Emilie Delquie (Publishers Communication Group) and Cory Tucker (University of Ne-vada at Las vegas) wrote an all-encompassing overview of both the methods of acquiring electronic resources and the challenges we face regarding e-content procurement.  Lisa Carlucci Thomas (Southern Connecticut State University) and Stephen Rhind-Tutt (Alexander Street Press) wrote about access technology, while content integration is covered by Michael Gorman (EBSCO) and Peter Johnson, et. al. (HighWire Press).  What would an issue of Against the Grain about elec-tronic resources be without discussing discovery services or open access?Several of the topics covered in these articles include provoca-tive issues such as switching from buffet access to a la carte access, moving from a “just-in-case” to a “just-in-time” collection philosophy driven by the end user, adapting to changes in the emerging e-reading culture and the use of mobile devices, embracing digital video in the academy, and improving discover-ability with a discovery service and the imple-mentation of interoperable technology to truly integrate all electronic resources.The Charleston Pre-Conference E-Everything: Putting It All Together, part 2  highlights these writers and presenters in the Pecha Kucha1 Style, where each presenter will have 15 minutes to deliver their message to you in a short period of time; succinct and to the point.  The break-out session at the end will give you the opportunity to pose questions to those speakers that intrigue you.An archived version of this pre-conference will be available on the following Websites:LibrariesThriving.orgAgainst-the-Grain.com  This sleeping beauty is Audrey Powers’ first granddaughter  Erika Jean Powers.14 Against the Grain / November 2011 <http://www.against-the-grain.com>Visit us on the beautiful Seneca Lake Wine TrailWWW.BUSCAINC.COM140,000 e-booksMultiMediacd’s  dvd’s  vhs  Green PracticesForeignSkyRiver PartnerPaperback Binding Pre-ProcessingOCLC WorldCat Partner5 million item databaseFedlink VendorOut of Print SearchingAttentive Customer ServiceFedEx Ground ShippingCustomized Collection Development ListsCourteous and Professional Sales Forcebooks/mediaE-Everything ...from page 1Endnotes1.  PechaKucha Night:  This presentation style was developed in Tokyo in 2003 and has evolved into PechaKucha Night events which consist of approximately a dozen presentations; each presenter has 20 slides that are shown for 20 seconds.  Thus, each presenter has 6 minutes and 40 seconds to explain their ideas. — WikipediaInterim Dean, WKU Libraries Cravens 102, 1906 College Heights Blvd. #11067 Bowling Green, KY  42101 Phone: (270) 745-2904  •  Fax: (270) 745-6922 <connie.foster@wku.edu>  •  www.wku.edu/LibraryBorn and lived:  Born in Buffalo, NY; have lived in Greensboro, NC (through early grade) and Nashville, TN (high school and college years).professional career and activities:  English teacher in middle grades, Nashville for 2 years; English instructor, radford college (before it became co-ed and a university); John logan community college, Carterville IL; and then to Bowling Green for English and eventually library staff and faculty em-ployment.

I think also the current search and discovery systems will continue to undergo transformations that will be more user-friendly; and small presses and societies that have not yet moved to the online environment with IP and proxy access must do so; publishers must provide more back files with current subscriptions.  Jstor and project mUse will continue to be major platforms for current and archival quality content.  people profileConnie Fosteragainst the grainIt’s the feet that are so troubling.  No, seri-ously.  They represent the fact that business models and service approaches we’ve grown comfortable with are continuing to undergo as-saults of increasing intensity.  We can’t simply discount any given scenario as too implausible or unexpected to take seriously. Back when Capt. Kirk was first signing off on the Captain’s Log on his tablet computer (over forty years ago), who’d have thought Pelikan’s Antidisambiguationfrom page 10that tape cassettes would surpass the reel to reel, or even the vinyl, along with their ac-companying business and distribution models? Who’d have taken seriously, back when Capt. Kirk was flipping open his communicator, that the digital cell phones his grandchildren would see with that form factor would be the cheap ones (or are they his great, great, great grandparents)?Next thing you’ll be telling me is that it’s time to take 3-D seriously.By definition, it’s the things that haven’t caught our attention that take us by surprise...
