  I do like the quickness and efficiency of using online sources. The
magazine collection was starting to carry more browsing titles to lure
readers in, but continued to carry news magazines. I recently learned that
my total library media center budget for this year will be about $100.00.
(Yes, you are reading correctly.) This means our subscriptions to online
services (i.e. Ebsco, UMI, etc.) will not be renewed. For this reason--and
when power is out, the server is down, the terminals are all busy-- I will
keep back issues of the more used titles for research (Time, Newsweek,
etc.). They will be an alternative; without them some research projects
would be difficult to complete.
 In the future no doubt there will be some shifting.  For now I like a balance.
