Free serials not linked to print subscription Patricia Tully 09 Dec 2005 14:48 UTC

Hi everyone,

I know this is a perpetual question, so I apologize in advance if this has
come up on the list recently.  I couldn't bring up any relevant threads in
the archives.

We are reviewing our policy for adding free resources to our collection and
making them accessible through lists, the catalog or other means.  One
category we're reviewing are free magazines or journals that are not
associated with a print subscription.  The content of these resources will
be evaluated just as we evaluate other resources, but we are interested in
how other libraries make these sites available if it is determined that the
content justifies adding the journal to the collection.

In this case, do you add it to an alphabetical or subject journal list, do
you catalog it, or do you make it available some other way?  Any
suggestions you can give us would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Pat
