Hello,
We are in the process of reviewing our serials section with the move
towards e-only. With the print journals we currently subscribe to we
have clear procedures on how to manage these - processing, check -in
/receipt, claiming outstanding issues ... it is less clearcut with the
e-journals to we subscribe and we are only aware of a problem when a
student tells us they are unable to access a particular issue or title.
How do other institutions deal with e-journal management? Do you have
ways of monitoring access? Do you have a way of "checking in" an
e-journal or a "claims" procedure?
Also, if you have gone (predominantly) e-only for journals what has the
response been from users?
Thank you in advance, any thoughts /advice gratefully rec'd.
Trudi
