We think it is easier to look in a list. If students bring us citations, it is faster to check a list than to navigate to the journal online. We have put our list on the web to enable people at home to check if we have the journal they need before they come to the library. Our list had been in a mainframe database. We were able to get an ASCII copy and convert it to Word. Later we converted it to HTML.

It includes name of journal, ISSN number, dates of coverage and format of coverage. Our journals are also listed in our online catalog, but when students are looking for just one or two articles that they need right now, they seem to prefer just picking up the book and having a quick look rather than switching to another database. Personally I use the paper list all the time. Diana ???????????????????????????????????? ? Diana Schaubhut - Librarian ? ? Our Lady of Holy Cross College ? ? New Orleans, Louisiana 70131 ? ?

The students like to have them handy by the printed indexes and by the computers to do a quick check of what we have. Of course, it is especially handy when the network goes down! : ) Linda Tilly ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Linda S.
