Hi Ayo

 

I’m not quite sure what you are wanting people to do. Subscribing to Athens without purchasing electronic content is pointless as OpenAthens is just a user name and password that can be used to access multiple online resources. The resources themselves have to be paid for and are often (usually?) very expensive. However, no single library could possibly afford all the subscriptions necessary to satisfy all the article requests they receive.

 

If your point is that people should not be requesting articles on Lis-Medical then I agree. Lis-Medical was not set up as a list to satisfy document delivery requests but for professional discussions.

 

NHS Libraries already have the Healthill email list and can user Reprints Desk as a last resort to source journal articles.

 

 

 

Dear Colleagues

 

I want to urge that we request our employers to subscribe to Athens and other relevant databases that will enable us to provide responsive and quality services to our clients. For those who have, your kind assistance to help others will always be appreciated.

 

However, timeliness is of essence in information services delivery, the more reason why every NHS library should have ready access to relevant databases. This no doubt, will enhance our degree of responsiveness to requests for information search and to print out needed citation for interested clients.

 

Just my candid suggestion please.
