  1. Electronic journals:Obligations, Options & Opportunities AERO 2009 Susan Garbarino Giannini Foundation Library University of California, Berkeley

  2. Obligations • Provide electronic access to current issues. • Archiving for future access to journal titles; either through a “reliable” online repository (JSTOR) or by purchasing the print. • For some titles we may still need both print and online access to serve all of our users.

  3. Options to meet our obligations: • Two extremes: Option 1: Cancel all print and hope someone archives it somewhere Option 2: Keep getting print; electronic access is not archival • Mixed approach: Option 1: Rely upon campus electronic access for current issues but keep getting print as an archive Option 2: Get print until it’s in an online archive like JSTOR The best answer varies depending on the title and your users’ needs

  4. Considerations • Access: Is the title electronically accessible? Do you have reliable access for current issues? Will your campus pick up the cost or do you need to provide it? • Archiving: Print vs online: Print is still the most reliable archiving option; our users may not value it but without it we risk losing access in the future. Is the title in a reliable online repository for the future? • Indexing: Users need it indexed, (though they don’t always understand this). Google Scholar is incomplete and uncertain. If it’s not indexed but important to us, we index it locally.

  5. Sample decision matrix

  6. Embargos: electronic archive, but not current access

  7. Electronic journals allow for new services: Current Awareness: register a limited number of users for a selected list of titles and send current issues via email Assist in creating bibliographies for faculty reviews: analytics within online catalog, collecting cites via Refworks Links to electronic versions in local catalog Opportunities

  8. Other Electronic Serials • Born digital material: • web links only or web links and print for archive? • Considerations: • Publishing costs • Content? Will anyone else take the time to archive it? For example trade publications, state, local government documents, technical reports. What about faculty who primarily publish on the web?
