Hey y'all,
Currently, there is a fair amount of overlapping between our
online
subscriptions and our paper subscriptions. I would like to
cease
subscribing to paper subscriptions for selected titles
available via one of
our online services (particularly, EBSCOHost). Also, want
to make this a
policy. If you ever encountered this issue, how did you
determined whether
or not to cease subscribing to overlapping paper journals?
Also of the
online services (EBSCOHost, Wilson databases, Infotrac Web,
etc.), rank
themaccording to which ones provide full-text journals that
are most equivalent
to the paper or hardcopy journals. EBSCOHost claims to
provide everything
published in selected journals in full-text except
advertisements...which
is great for us, but it is weak in the area of providing
journals in the
natural/applied sciences. We are looking at other online
services that
will provide that void.
Thanks in advance.
