      ab: Coming of age in the e-world has been an exciting time for library users as the volume of information available at the desktop is rapidly expanding. While end users have benefited from the increased volume of content, the workflow to support the control mechanisms developed by publishers has produced a serious volume of new work for libraries. Too often the access and registration procedures are based on the primitive access and control systems developed by hosting services, which requires a library to perform a series of functions to activate and maintain access to this e-content. Subscriptions agents have reengineered their systems to be able to support much of this new e-journal access and registration work. There is no question that the transition from print journals to electronic format has produced a new world order and turned everything in the past upside-down. End users and publishers have landed on their feet. It is the library and the subscription agent that have ended on the bottom of the pile, and both libraries and agents are working to develop systems that reduce the workload and improve access.
