> Dear Colleagues,

> I would welcome your feedback on the preferences of UK HE and FE

> potential purchase of journal archives by JISC Collections.
> 
> Since August 2004 JISC has licensed the following journal archives on
> behalf of the higher and further education communities in the United
> Kingdom:
> 
>    * Royal Society of Chemistry Journals Archive
>    * Institute of Physics Journal Archive 1874-1998
>    * Oxford Journals Complete Archive
> 
> The cost of acquiring such resources is beyond the means of most
> institutions, but JISC funding makes the content available to all UK
> higher and further education institutions free and in perpetuity. The
> availability of these online archives not only means that valuable
> library space can be freed, but that all students and staff can easily
> use previously inaccessible or rare material at the desk top.
> 
> In order to make sure that future procurement of journal archives is
> driven by the needs of institutions and their users, JISC Collections
> would be grateful for your feedback on the following questions:
> 
>   1.      In your opinion does the continued licensing of journal
> archives represent a sensible investment of JISC Collection's content
> procurement budget?
>   2.      If yes, what are the journal archives currently available
> that you would like to see JISC Collections consider for procurement?
>   3.      If no, what content do you feel JISC Collections should
> invest in?
> 
> Additional comments are welcome to all of the questions and the
> responses will be collated and made available to all respondents 
> in the
> new year.
> 
> The answers you provide will be invaluable in directing JISC 
> Collectionsactivities in this area, however, it should be noted 
> that given the
> funding available, JISC Collections is unlikely to be able to fulfil
> every need.
