Serials Solutions
Helping librarians and
patrons
find and use their full-text
electronic serials
Quoted from site:
Serials Solutions solves
the problem of not knowing which journals are available
through your institution's
full-text databases.
Serials Solutions provides
comprehensive lists of your institution's full-text, electronic format
journals,
organized alphabetically
by journal title for easy searching.
Products are easy for
librarians and patrons to use, and helps patrons find more resources on
their own.
Serials Solutions requires
no complex software to download or manage.
At time of sign-up, a
list of the databases to which your library subscribes is required.
Serials Solutions tracks
aggregators' holdings and delivers a product
that requires virtually
no technical expertise from partner libraries.
http://serialssolutions.com/Home.asp
PLEASE
NOTE: at the current time (2002) - Serials Solutions does not offer
"liscensing or registration"
of your library's
journals that require it - You will still be required to sign up access,
for journals that
your library has access
to, and they do not provide "access" to content - that still has to be
done via your
own Libraries access
to content, methods, policies and procedures that your individual library
requires..

Aggregator services evaluation:
not an easy comparison.
Blosser J. Lightman H.
McHugh WA. Ren A.
Serials Librarian, 41(1):65-78,
2001.
Abstract
Northwestern University
Library's Electronic Collections Committee (ECC) Working Group was charged
with reviewing and evaluating aggregator services, publishers of electronic
journals, and providers of software to manage these journals, in order
to determine if any one aggregator service could meet the electronic, journal
needs of the Northwestern community. The Working Group created a list of
criteria and questions to use in making this evaluation. After careful
study, the Working Group made a recommendation as to how Northwestern University
Library should plan to proceed in its acquisition of electronic journals.
New challenges behind
the scenes: the changing role of the serials librarian in the age of E-publishing.
Dygert CT.
Internet Reference Services
Quarterly, 3(3):7-14, 1998.
Abstract
The explosion of electronic
publishing is driving rapid changes in the role of the serials librarian.
The acquisition of resources published on the Internet requires different
expertise than that of traditional formats and this expertise must range
across a broad spectrum of specializations. These specializations include:
understanding IP (Internet Protocol) domains and the technicalities of
accessing remote computer files, dealing with archiving issues, and reviewing
and negotiating licensing agreements. Developments such as continuous and
cumulative publishing undermine the traditional definition and management
of serial literature, and require entirely new ways of managing the collection.
The author will explore the impact these factors are having on the role
of the serials librarian within the academic environment.

Seven Common Myths about

Electronic
Journals:
Promises
and Challenges for Academic Libraries
Heting Chu
Palmer School of Library
& Information Science
ABSTRACT:
A questionnaire was mailed
to ninety-five major academic libraries
in the United States
to explore how serials librarians would
respond to the booming
of electronic journals (e-journals).
Fifty librarians (52.6%)
answered the survey with one follow-up.
The study found that
over 70% of the libraries that returned the survey
had participated in e-journal
related activities.
Among all the reasons
listed in the questionnaire,
those relating to "access"
were consistently ranked high
in explaining why librarians
in major academic libraries think e-journals are valuable.
Yet, "cost" seems to
be a critical factor in determining e-journal adoption.
As for the extent of
e-journals in the libraries surveyed,
the figure appears modest
although some of the institutions
claimed having more than
1100 titles in their e-journal collections.

The
Economic Impact of an Electronic Journal Collection on an Academic Library
Carol Hansen Montgomery,
John A. Bielec
Abstract.
This paper provides information
on the economic impact of the transition from print to electronic journals
in an academic library. The technological orientation of the university
and a robust network infrastructure have made it possible for Drexel to
make this transition more quickly than most, if not all, U.S. academic
libraries. Shifts in costs occur in all budget areas: capital (space and
network infrastructure), staffing, purchased services, materials, supplies
and equipment. Overall, costs are higher, but preliminary data indicates
that in Drexel's case per journal and per article costs are lower.

Electronic journals:
managing and educating for a changing culture in academic libraries
Online
Information Review, 28 November 2001, vol. 25, no. 6,
pp. 378-387
Ashcroft L.; McIvor S.
Abstract:
With the requisite IT
infrastructure now becoming commonplace in academic institutions, electronic
journals are becoming an established component of academic life, but the
management of electronic journals can not yet be considered trouble-free.
This latest research project at Liverpool John Moores University focuses
on the evaluation and promotion of electronic journals in academic libraries
in the UK and in North America. The aim is to highlight any significant
differences in the way that electronic journals are managed and to identify
successes in order to establish "best practice". Several issues emerge
from the research. For electronic journals to become a significant alternative
to the print version, there needs to be a recognition that the introduction
of electronic journals will impact on working practices and staffing requirements,
requiring more technical skills and competencies and changes in management
priorities. Furthermore, electronic journals are still a "moving target",
making realignment even more difficult and posing awkward questions for
decision makers as to the best way forward. The whole process of electronic
journal development requires effective management of change. Interoperability
would seem to provide the key to many of the issues involved. All of these
factors influence the changing arena of LIS education.

Effective techniques
for automatic extraction of Web publications
Online
Information Review, 1 January 2002, vol. 26, no. 1,
pp. 4-18
Fong A.C.M.; Hui
S.C.; Vu H.L.
Abstract:
Research organisations
and individual researchers increasingly choose to share their research
findings by providing lists of their published works on the World Wide
Web. To facilitate the exchange of ideas, the lists often include links
to published papers in portable document format (PDF) or Postscript (PS)
format. Generally, these publication Web sites are updated regularly to
include new works. While manual monitoring of relevant Web sites is tedious,
commercial search engines and information monitoring systems are ineffective
in finding and tracking scholarly publications. Analyses the characteristics
of publication index pages and describes effective automatic extraction
techniques that the authors have developed. The authors' techniques combine
lexical and syntactic analyses with heuristics. The proposed techniques
have been implemented and tested for more than 14,000 Web pages and achieved
consistently high success rates of around 90 percent.

Excerpt quoted from web
site
The DEU is an electronic
list maintained by ALCTS.
Members of the list are
an autonomous group of libraries that exchange usable library material.
Although composed primarily
of small college and public libraries,
the DEU aims to serve
all libraries in finding a place for duplicate
or unwanted materials
or locating such materials.
DEU is a free service
open to all libraries.

HUMOR
Someone who is involved
with serials - is also creative and despite the problems of being a serials
specialist
has kept their sense
of humor:
From Manitoba Library
Association - Library Humour Page

POEM
The Publisher is my Tormentor.
I shall not smile:
He maketh me to work
all day at my desk.
He leadeth me astray
with misnumbered issues:
His Roman numerals confound
me:
He changeth titles over
and over for His own sake.
Yea, when I walk through
the shadow of missing or irregular issues, I can find no respite, for He
has moved.
He answereth not my letters,
nor useth the correct mailing label;
He starteth not when
I ask and quiteth before it is time;
My work never endeth.
Rising prices and duplicate
issues shall follow me all the days of my life;
and I shall moan and
groan in the library forever.
From page 187 of "Developing
Library and Information Center Collections", Third Edition, by G. Edward
Evans, Libraries Unlimited, Inc., Englewood Colorado, 1995. ISBN 1-56308-187-3
