Title:	The Transfer Initiative: Creating Best Practice Guidelines for the Transfer of Journal Titles Between Publishers (or: "Where is My eJournal Content Coming From This Year?")
Author:	Winter, Elizabeth L.
Abstract:	This presentation will begin with an overview of why journals move between publishers, including a brief discussion of the relationships between scholarly societies and publishers. It will then discuss the implications of journals moving between publishers and the impact these moves have on libraries, publishers, intermediaries, and users. Next, it will introduce Project Transfer, an international working group made up of librarians, publishers, and intermediaries, formed to address some of the problems created by journal transfers. The presentation will outline the aims and objectives of Project Transfer and will apprise attendees of the progress the working group has made so far, the challenges we have run into, and the next steps that will be undertaken.
Description:	Elizabeth Winter is the Electronic Resources Coordinator in Acquisitions at the Georgia Institute of Technology & Member, Main Committee, Project Transfer.
