History:
- Heinz to Syma:
The Tax Reporter spends most of its time in the IS office being updated. Is this a resource that is truly needed? Is it available electronically? No one seems to miss it for the extended periods of time it spends off the shelf and back in the IS Office area. - Syma to Heinz:
This is a resource that *was* slated for electronic replacement back a few years ago when Sheila tasked Tom (on a committee that included me and one or two others) with review of continuing resources in Reference.
We never got the money for it, IIRC, so the project kind of fell through.
I seem to remember that there was some use (as indicated by reshelving stats) of the physical items, but can't recall the extent off the top of my head.
Finance and Accounting are the two [main] Areas of the Rawls College which use it, and it specifically supports the MSA in Accountancy program, if memory serves.
Would you like me to ask Tom if he still has a copy of the report he submitted to Sheila a couple years ago? - Syma to Heinz:
Seeing you yesterday afternoon reminded me to let you know that I’d talked to Robert Ricketts (Area Coordinator, Accounting) and that he agreed with canceling the subscription.
Interestingly, he said the same thing Bill Pasewark had told me… that if it was available electronically, it *would* get used.
So, maybe something [for me] to look at and/or think about in the future, but we won’t incur any issues by canceling the print subs at this point.
I did let him know that the Law School Library subscribed to it, both in-print, and electronically.
P.S. On a related note, this was one of the titles from the Reference Loose-leaf Project a few years back which was identified as “high priority for move to electronic” (or whatever the actual wording was).
P.P.S. Dr. Pasewark also made a plug for switching *any* accounting title from print to electronic. In a tone similar to “If you build it, they will come,” he made the point that if it’s electronic, it *will* get used. He was not altogether surprised that a print title had fallen into disuse. Obviously there are other factors to consider (i.e. price differential), but I thought I would pass it along as “user feedback.” - Heinz to Syma:
Great! Have you sent a cancellation request to Acquisitions?
I think we should investigate the electronic if possible to get at some future point. - Syma to Heinz:
I will send a cancellation request to Acquisitions. Wasn’t sure what the procedure on that was, because I’ve never done it before. - Syma to ACQ:
After consulting with Laura Heinz and the Area Coordinator (~ “Dept Chair”) for Accounting, I would like to request that we cease our subscription to this title* as soon as possible.

Hi Jake,
