T. J. Walker, University of Florida (26 June 2004)

This talk describes how the Florida Entomological Society and the Entomological Society of America have taken different routes in addressing the transition from the traditional, paper-based system of journal publishing to one that is Web-based and free to all users. It was part of a session of the ACRL Science & Technology Section, during the 2004 summer conference of the American Library Association, Orlando, Florida.
