This is discouraging news. RLG’s ShelfLife electronic newsletter is ceasing publication with #195, February 24, 2005. According to Jim Michalko, RLG’s CEO, it no longer fits with the organization’s “overall communication strategy.” Michalko praises the NewsScan editors, John Gehl and Suzanne Douglas, but the newsletter they now produce at their own site really doesn’t cover library issues as did ShelfLife. Perhaps we can convince them to resuscitate ShelfLife without RLG support.
