Re: Change in print frequency for selected T&F journals Virginia Taffurelli 23 Feb 2006 18:52 UTC
John, Thanks for your response. We also do not want to cancel print for the same reason you state below. I've gotten quite a few responses privately and will summarize for the list next week.

We had set up electronic access to those titles before. It was another way for our users to get what they want, the way they want it. In these (3 titles for us) that an archival print version will come out some 4-6 months later is not relevant (to us) However, we still will be going with the print + online because to go only with the online will deny us an archival copy, if sometime in the future, we have to cancel our subscription, all the online access goes away.

I hate to bring this up again now that it's died down, but I'm wondering how others are dealing with this situation. Our policy is to not provide access to "free with print" titles because of their volatile nature. With the selected T&F titles, however, the combined print issues are not available until as much as three months after they are available online. I believe this should be an exception to the rule and that we should provide online access through our catalog and our A-Z list, but I'm butting my head against a brick wall. If your library is setting up the online access for these titles, please let me know what rationale you used. Please respond to me directly and I'll summarize for the list. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts on this.

So if for example Volume 1 Issue 1 is published online in Jan, Issue 2 in Feb and Issue 3 in March, the combined print issue which will be published in March, will be numbered Volume 1 Issues 1-3 2006. There is no change in the way we will number print or online issues. Therefore the citation will reflect the volume/issue/pagination of the online and print issue (as they will be the same). As John Lucas wrote "consider the archival print issue as 3 issues bound together." "with the covers of the other issues bound in the archival print copy". 2) The expected publication dates of print issues, and a complete list of the journals involved will be listed on our Librarians' website at http://www.tandf.co.uk/libsite/print_less.pdf 3) We offer online-only subscriptions but have no plans to offer unbundled print-only subscriptions. If we were to make any further changes in future then we would ensure that our print customers would not be disadvantaged. Kind regards Ashleigh
