In July 2002, the Electronic Journal Maintenance Task Force (David Banush (chair), Bill Kara, Jean Pajerek and Scott Wicks) received a three-part charge from the Technical Services Executive Group (TSEG.) From mid-July through late September, Task Force members met with CUL staff in Technical Services, Collection Development, and Library Administration to gather data on current and historical e-journal cataloging practices, determine the incoming flow of e-journal bibliographic data, and to consider the needs of collection development and administration in e-journal identification and tracking.
