E-journals, a new format only a few years ago, are now commonplace
in many libraries. Curtis, one of the nation's leading experts in the field,
offers innovative ideas for helping library staff optimize their users' online
experiences. She begins by addressing the information-seeking behavior of users
and their evolving service expectations. She offers guidelines for selecting,
ordering, receiving, delivering, and providing access to electronic journals,
along with tips and resources for keeping current. Curtis also discusses using
outsourcing for managing electronic journals. There is clear and complete
information on benefits and costs, selection rationale, archiving, licensing,
copyright, cataloging, and more. Special features include: a glossary, sample
collection policies, database source lists, a guide for creating a
"Full-Text Master List," and an electronic journal spreadsheet. This
comprehensive guide will help you make the most of your library's E-journal
resources.
