Re: Science Direct titles FW: SERIALST Digest - 4 Dec 2007 to 5 Dec 2007 (#2007-257) Sheffer, Rena A 06 Dec 2007 17:10 UTC

In response to Loraine's question (below), we only list titles to which we
have current access in our A-Z list in Serials Solutions.  This includes
titles for prior subscriptions, now cancelled, as long as we have significant
holdings.

Our patrons know that they should also check the catlog for print issues if
they don't find a desired title in our eJournals list and then can request an
ILL for something they don't find in either location.  I hope I responded to
your actual question; contact me off-list if you would like.

Greetings!

We have just completed a periodicals cancellation project which has now
coincided with our need to find an alternative to Science Direct Web
Editions. Our decision has been to go with a customized list of e-only
titles with a backfile.  To ease faculty concerns that they were losing
access to core titles we were cancelling, we had assured them they could
have desktop document delivery to those titles. Our question now is, as
Serial Solution users, do we list all of Elsevier's available titles in
our A-Z list (something I'm sure they would love!) or do we just limit
the A-Z listings to those titles we had access to and allow serendipity
to take care of the rest? We encourage access to titles through our A-Z
list vs our OPAC.

We were wondering how anyone else who may be in a similar situation has
handled access to unsubscribed titles for which you are willing- but not
necessarily anxious-  to offer desktop document delivery for?

Thanks in advance!

We created an Excel file for our ON DEMAND journal titles with dates
available and sent it to SerialsSolutions.  So our ON DEMAND titles show up
right along with those for which immediate electronic access is available.

Sincerely,

For our OPAC, we only added subscribed titles or holdings for titles
that we did subscribe to (but no longer do).  We also provide desktop
document delivery for selected departments, but this is for faculty only
via login/password.  This service has worked very well so far.

We are not currently adding unsubscribed titles to our SS profile.
Students may continue to request articles not held at Trinity via ILL.
