One of our society journals would like to change its title. We are not in favour of this, partly because we think the current title is good, but more importantly we are concerned that a title change will cause confusion amongst our library subscriber base. Of course we would notify subscribers in advance, but we nevertheless feel a change is bound to be disruptive.
I would very much appreciate any feedback from list members as to the impact of journal title changes on library systems. If it is the case that a properly managed change is not disruptive, we can be more positive about the new title. However, if it is at all problematic, it would be helpful for us to convey the likely ramifications to our society partner.
Apologies if this question has been asked of the listserv before; off-list replies very welcome.
Many thanks!
