Afternoon all,
I'm trying to get to grips with e-journal management in a new
institution now I've moved jobs and have a question for you.
If you use a commercial knowledge base to track your journals, how well
does it cope with a very common occurrence, the changing of a journal
title? Does it recognise all changes and add titles accordingly, or is
it very much hit and miss? I think it is absolutely vital to have the
correct title tracked for a journal; no matter how old it is, so that
academic referencing is not compromised and customer confusion is kept
to a minimum.
I'd like to hear other's experiences on this. Also, if a new title is
added to a package, how long should it take for this information to be
added to a knowledge base - and should this be a proactive or reactive
process?
As ever the floor is yours ... if people want to email me off-list on
this topic, that's absolutely fine.
Thanks
Louise
