Abstract
What’s in a name? It helps to establish identity. A name conveys reputation or authority. This presentation discusses the factors that influenced the recent decision to change the name of the ALCTS Serials Section and then examines the challenges facing ALCTS as it strives to become the “recognized dynamic leader … [for] all information resources.”
