In new nesli2 deals for 2007, would YOU like a firm commitment from
publishers who offer "bundled deals" or "big deals" to provide accurate
holdings data updated on at least a quarterly basis?
In our view, the minimum specification should be a spreadsheet with
separate fields for:
NAME OF COLLECTION, ISSN, E-ISSN, JOURNAL TITLE, URL, First online year,
First online volume, First online issue
(and if an archive: Last online year, Last online volume, Last online
issue.)
This would then enable swift uploads to library catalogues and/or link
resolvers.
*PLEASE let me know [log in to unmask] if you support such a
proposal (No need to type a message).
If there's enough interest, I'll make a request to nesli2.*
Obviously pricing information and other metadata would also be welcome -
as would MARC records - we just thought as the 2007 negotiations are
about to start, now would be the time to agree at least a minimum amount
of information we all need and don't have time to work out on our own!
Cheers
Nick
