STIC Contacts 
Collection Development Committee 
Joint Steering Committee on Shared Collections 
SOPAG

Although the Science, Technology, and Industry Collection (STIC) Task Force has worked splendidly as a team for two years now, I am pleased to announce that Susan Starr, Associate University Librarian for Sciences at UCSD, has agreed to chair the Task Force.  Although basic priorities for electronic journals have been set, the Task Force faces a full agenda. It will re-order publisher priorities in light of the faculty survey and electronic product readiness, propose  co-investment and logistical models for the transition from print to electronic, develop criteria and mechanisms for selection of CDL open access materials in the sciences, and continue to provide analyses and feedback, often by identifying librarians with appropriate expertise.  
Needless to say, Susan is ideally suited for this role.
