Hi Jason
In Cumbria we only subscribe to the county journal, not any of the
nationals.
On an earlier point regarding ejournals, I am also a student with an
Athens/online ejournal account. Two problems I found when trying to use
this for HER purposes were that my university doesn't subscribe to many
archaeology ejournals, and those I could access such as JRS and
Britannia have specific terms and conditions attached prohibiting
sharing. Just something else to bear in mind perhaps.

Here at West Yorkshire we subscribe to a number of national journals
including Britannia, PPS and Past, Industrial Archaeology Review,
Medieval Archaeology, Post-Medieval Archaeology, Northern History,
British Archaeology and Current Archaeology .We also subscribe to local
journals including Yorkshire Archaeological Journal, Transactions of the
Halifax Antiquarian, The Bradford Antiquary, Proceedings of the Thoresby
Society, Newsletters of the Roman, Prehistoric, Medieval and Industrial
sections of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society. We frequently
undertake extraction of information and enhancement of our records with
pertinent information. In our experience this is necessary to keep
abreast of all relevant material. What we would be interested in is how
many other HERs subscribe to a reasonable range of journals?.

Hi Thanks for the reply Keith

Like I said, I think Graham's idea of using volunteers could be away
round that though

Hi Nick,
A reply to your reply. As regards "...the main issue is access - we
don't have the funds to buy the journals so students with library cards
and e journal access would be good."
I'd recommend that you get a free Inspire pass, which can be obtained
through your local library with reference only access to specialist, e.
g. university, libraries. See http://www.inspire2.org.uk/ which gives
details of the scheme and the libraries in the scheme.
I've had no problem with it at Durham and Newcastle Universities, the
Literary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle upon Tyne, for things
I've not been able to borrow or see at The Society of Antiquaries of
Newcastle upon Tyne and other local libraries.
Hope that helps,
Keith

Subj: Re: National Journals and HER Research
We don't routinely do this, but have been considering it as a part of
the HER backlog.
I like Graham's idea of using students to do it, as the main issue is
access - we don't have the funds to buy the journals so students with
library cards and e journal access would be good
Its only a medium/low priority as I would hope that new sites in our
patch would be found out about by us through the more local journals and
other sources (but that may be naively optimistic...), and trawling
national journals this would mainly be about adding extra sources to
known sites. That is useful for more remote inquirers (they have more
options to try and track down from afar, before having to come to the
HER physically), but not critical in itself
A question back to Martin would be, I thought the NMR used to do this?
Do they still?
If the NMR did, but stopped, it would be useful to know which Journals
they trawled and for which dates, so HER's could concentrate on those
not already looked at.
best wishes

A query came up as to whether HERs regularly trawl through national
journals (e.g. Journal of Roman Studies, Vernacular Architecture,
Industrial Archaeology Review etc) for sites and research relevant to
their geographical area. I was wondering whether list members had a view
on the usefulness and priority level this type of type of research.
Regards
Martin
