Developing a Financially Sustainable Business Model for Library Resources and Technical Services (LRTS), the Official Journal of ALCTS

The Board of Directors of the Association of Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) tasked a sub-group of the American Library Association Emerging Leaders 2013 cohort with investigating different pricing and business models as well as the potential impact on membership of ceasing print production of the journal Library Resources & Technical Services (LRTS), and the impact of advertising on revenue.

Based on its findings, the team drafted a report that will be presented to the LRTS Editorial Board and the ALCTS Board of Directors at ALA Annual 2013. This poster is a brief overview of the key points from the report.
