"Older issues available full text via JSTOR" We felt we could not keep up with the changes on a regular basis. Yes, we think it is worth doing the extra work in cataloging for the electronic access along with having an A-Z list. I really don't know if patrons start with the databases or if once they know there is a journal title they continue to use it. But we do know both are used. We have only cataloged the titles in packages or purchased individually, not titles in databases.

Do you think that users will most likely look in an aggregate database anyway for this sort of information, and that adding the 856 field to the bib record is a lot of extra work for not a lot of gain? > > > >Any input on this topic would be appreciated. > > > >Thank you for your time. > > > >================================= >Julia Todd >Government Documents/Electronic Services Librarian >Baker University >P.O.

HOWEVER, we found way too many deadends - sometimes you get dumped into publisher's websites with no clear link - so we are not using it. They also include pay-per-view titles which we really don't want to get into. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, or you have info to make it better/easier to use. This is one of those areas I need help with; I have lost staff and don't have the time to mess with the free-with-print, contacting publishers to get them "turned on", doing licensing agreements, etc. I hate not taking advantage of the free access.
