We're in NULJ & we're net suppliers. However, it's worth it to be able
to obtain some of the harder to source articles without paying the BL
fee. It does take extra staff time but I think about the patients and
feel that, if we can contribute to improving patient care by educating
staff, it's worth it. A net supplier always has the option of checking
which titles are in great demand and then could stop listing that title
for ILL supply. If it's a scarce title, they could consider removing
other, more widely-held titles and keep that one in the list.
Also, if there were a union catalogue of the whole UK NHS's holdings,
the odds are that someone else would also be able to supply, so the
request could be forwarded on elsewhere, which would take up very little
time.

There's always the Nursing Union List of Journals (NULJ) - details at
http://www.uhl-library.nhs.uk/nulj/about.html
Members across the country and holdings of various tricky-to-find
journals are listed.
Not wishing to pour cold water on anyone's parade, but the potential
savings only apply if you receive more copies than you make for other
libraries (or at least, about the same number).
I know of some libraries in our region which withdrew from various
collaborative schemes because they were supplying far, far more copies
than they received and they just couldn't afford the staff time.

It is a terrific idea. Long have I dreamed of a single NHS Library ILL
scheme which includes all of our collective holdings. There could be
some serious cost savings, both in terms of ILLs and in terms of knowing
who holds what and the impact that might have on what we chose to
subscribe to...
Has Zena volunteered to do this then?

Zena has come up with a great idea. Having a giant journals list across
the entire UK. Now this does sound a little bit pie-in-the-sky but i
think it might be a plan considering the prices we all pay for our
journals. At some point we have all had to consolidate our holdings
within our smaller organisations, maybe the time is coming for us to do
this on a much wider scale? This way it would be easier to find out who
holds a journal in paper format etc. This would involve employing
someone to look after the massive database and the hosting etc, but if
everyone paid a nominal fee maybe this could work? I'm sure there are
going to be massive amounts of emails now about copyright etc, but i'm
sure there is a legal way to organise this.
Ok, i'm going to duck now to avoid all the reasons why this won't work!

Subject: Journal collections
Hello,
Just wondering how everyone else manages their journal collections. I'm
having a bit of spring clean and i'm not sure how ruthless to be with my
journals. I'm thinking along the lines of how long do people keep
certain journals after they have finished taking new copies, and also do
you have a cut of date say of 10 years for keeping old stock of current
journals?
Thanks,
Sarah
