The central part of this paper describes the scheme and its terminology. Shorter sections discuss dealing with uncertainty, how the scheme is used within the automated Serials Management System, and how it could be expanded. Page 1 The Development And Implementation of the Periodicals Analysis Database Mohammad Dadashzadeh, Kathryn Payne, and John H. Williams Skyrocketing journal costs and flat acquisitions budgets have placed Witchia State's University Libraries into the same predicament as most other academic and research libraries canceling periodicals on an annual basis. This paper traces the development and implementation of the Periodicals Analysis Database (PAD), a decision support system to rationalize cancellation decisions and requests for budget increases. PAD's success, in large measure, is due to gathering reliable use data through a continuous and automated periodicals use data capturing process. The information and analysis provided by PAD has altered the Library's approach to both journal deselection and materials budget enhancement requests through clearly detailing areas of concern. Page 13 The Development of a Journal Evaluation Database Using Microsoft Access Leonard Rhine The University of Florida Health Science Center Library developed a Microsoft ACCESS database of library materials added to the collection. Initially built to generate a print version of a monthly acquisitions list, the database is now used for several products and projects. The primary objective of the journal portion of the ACCESS database is to develop a numeric formula to rank individual titles for possible cancellation, but the database is also used to effectively support a variety of descriptive and analytical tasks associated with the ongoing evaluation of the library's serials collection. Page 27 An Analysis of the Results of Two Periodical Use Studies: How Usage in the 1990s Compares to Usage in the 1970s Julia A. Gammon and Phyllis O'Connor Data from two different periodical use studies conducted at a medium-sized midwestern university in the 1970s and the 1990s is analyzed and compared to determine if the same materials were being used over a long period of time and if the studies had affected both purchases and cancellations of titles in specific subject areas. Page 35 Serials Information in the OPAC: A Model For Shared Responsibility Tyler Goldberg and Eric Neagle Two departments at the University of Louisville, one in Public Services and the other in Technical Services, share responsibility for creating and maintaining serials information in the NOTIS order/pay/receipt record (OPR). This article explains the various notes kept in OPR statements, as well as the benefits of this cooperative effort to patrons and staff. Page 55 What Academic Libraries Need in Electronic Content Licenses: Presentations to the STM Library Relations Committee, STM Annual General Meeting, October 1, 1996 Ann Okerson Serials Review is pleased to share with its readers the text of a presentation made by Ann Okerson to the STM Library Relations Committee at the STM Annual General Meeting on October 1, 1996. The talk deals with the concerns academic libraries have in regard to licenses for electronic materials. Okerson discusses the parts of a license that most frequently delay library negotiations and proposes general license terms. Page 65 A Critical Look at the Availability of Gay and Lesbian Periodical Literature in Libraries and Standard Indexing Services Thomas Kilpatrick Gay men and lesbians have made dramatic progress in gaining civil rights and social acceptance in the years since the end of World War II; but, libraries and indexing services have not kept pace with the growing need for gay and lesbian information. Using the ninety-two titles from the "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender" chapter of Katz's Magazines for Libraries as a control list, each title was checked against OCLC to determine the extent of library holdings. This exercise indicates that only seventeen percent of the titles in the control list are reported held by twenty-five or more libraries, and those are titles that can be justified for their scholarly content or that approach the mainstream in terms of topical category, ethnic focus, and sexual orientation. Checking the same ninety-two titles against eight popular indexing services indicates that only twenty-two percent of the titles in the control list are indexed in standard indexing tools. This project identifies a small core group of gay and lesbian titles - nonethnic, nonsex specific, mostly in the areas of research, culture, and general news - that are indexed and available in libraries, making them accessible to the average library user. Still, most gay and lesbian journals are avoided by indexers and collection development librarians, indicating a need for further pressure from ALA's Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Task Force and enlightened publishers, patrons, and librarians. Page 71 Electronic Journal Forum: Blackwell's Periodicals Entry into E-Journal Distribution Tom Moothart With the assistance of participating libraries in North America, Europe, and Australia, Blackwell's Periodicals is developing Blackwell's Electronic Journal Navigator to distribute e-journals on behalf of various publishers. The system, which will be released in January 1997, will feature a searchable database and full image delivery via Web browsers. Sharon Cline McKay, Blackwell's Periodicals Technical Sales Manager for North America, describes Blackwell's role as an electronic journal distributor. The role of the academic library in archiving e-journals is touched on.
