I have 2 unrelated questions, but I think someone on
this list can help with them.

1st question - Is there a discovery tool for media for
medium sized academic libraries? I feel that one will
have to pursue the Choice journals and some of the
other periodicals, but we were wondering if someone
has defined a core group of media items for academic
libraries.

2nd question - I read somewhere (perhaps on this
list?) that there is a journal ranking for
disciplines. For example, the top 20 or top 50
journals in Chemistry, or Journalism, or Philosophy. I
would be interested in finding out more about this
ranking and how it is created and where to find it.

Many thanks to the collective wisdom of this list.
