Subject: Re: When is a full text journal not full text?
Ian
As a aside, I recently attended the UKSG seminar "ER: promoting and managing
electronic resources without the trauma". Julia Stocken of the BL was a
speaker and I asked her whether the BL used hardcopy or electronic versions
for DDS. Her reply was ej, and I therefore assume that requests made to the
BL for certain text may also be unsuccessful unless they search both
formats.

I guess we all know of titles that don't include in the electronic version
everything that is in the printed - apart from adverts - but we have
probably just tended to accept the fact. However, with more movement to
e-only provision of collections, we will be providing less content to our
users in the process and generating confusion when they have reference to
material that is not in the electronic title.
A particular instance has prompted these thoughts, but I would be interested
more generally to know if any librarians on the list have attempted to
record titles that are not completely full text, and if any publishers can
share with us their policy on this matter.
Thanks.
