Publishers, librarians, and library constituents - students, faculty, general public - each have The ir own vision of what Serials can, will, or should be like in The new millenium. Some of The se visions are shared across group lines, some are peculiarto only one or two of The se groups. As we all plan for a new decade, century and millenium, automation and Electronic s are opening doors to possibilities that seemed only a dream a few years ago. This paper will begin by discussing some of The many changes in Serials Publication which have taken place in The past few years. It will include discussion of The changes in both paper, or hard copy, editions and The various Electronic formats; a brief history of journal Publication in Electronic format will be included. This factual background is perhaps one of The few things which all The groups - publishers, librarians and library users - have in common. As libraries enter The Age of Electronic delivery, librarians have some definite concepts of what automated or Electronic delivery of Serials should be like, and what changes in Serials content could perhaps be possible and desirable. Readers, including university faculty and students, have built The ir concepts of Electronic Publication on both The very real world of The ir own needs and on The world of fantasy - such as The Star Wars and James Bond movies - which has given us glimpses of what may be possible in our new era. Publishers, in The ir turn, have views of Electronic Publication which include notjust what libraries and readers want, but also what those same libraries and users are willing to pay for. The concepts of each of The se groups will be discussed; areas of common interest and understanding will be pointed out, as will more problematic areas where The concepts of The se groups diverge wildly from each o The r. Various national and international groups of librarians and publishers have been working toge The r to try to come to a greater level of understanding of The challenges which we are facing at The beginning of this new era of Electronic publishing. At present The re are few concrete answersto The many questions we all have about The future of Serials in any or all formats of Publication . Areas where The re is lack of complete understanding or agreement among The various groups will be discussed, and an attempt will be made to state more clearly some of The problems and questions which must be addressed by librarians and publishers. The paper will conclude by examining The current ways in which librarians, scholars and publishers are attempting to resolve some of The more pressing questionswhich face serialists worldwide.
