Re: Determining Electronic Availaibility of Journal Titles in Databases Dena Schoen 16 Aug 2005 18:46 UTC
If you are using an agent, you might rely on that agent to issue a report of what is available against your list in electronic format. That is something my company does, for example, in a nice spreadsheet format. You may then work with your agent to gain access to the electronic versions. I hope this helps. Dena Scheon Dena J.

Any ideas on how to approach this would be greatly appreciated. We are attempting to evaluate duplication in our print and electronic journal collections and many of the latter we receive through aggregators. Do we need to check each aggregator for availability or is there a central index with information on location of full text electronic journals in databases? Thanks in advance. I truly appreciate your response, as I'm not quite sure how to approach this. Barbara Blummer Center for Computing Sciences
