Managing Serials in the Electronic World Jan Clark Serials librarian University of Newcastle
Introduction • Current situation here at Newcastle • Issues that are common problems for everyone • Demonstrate our link resolver • Q & A
Newcastle’s situation (1) • Project phase • Librarian appointed to oversee management of ejs • Separate A-Z list on web • Subject listings based on web • Separate access database • E-access only noted on OPAC where print record for title existed
Newcastle’s situation (2) • Transitional phase • Bibliographic records being added to OPAC • Acquisitions information being entered • SFX launched (OpenURL link resolver) • Developing workflows • Training staff
Newcastle’s situation (3) • Mature phase • Electronic journals embedded in normal activity of Periodicals department • Serials will mean any title published at intervals with no end date, regardless of format
Issues encountered in transitional phase: • Integration of workflow • Staff • Concerns • Training • Time • Differences/similarities in workflow

Issues affecting everyone • Cataloguing • The Serials Librarian vol. 46 no. 1 / 2 2004 • Linking • Authentication • Shibboleth : http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/ • User support
Issues affecting everyone • Archival policy • Expectations of users • Open access • Big deals • Statistics • Counter: http://www.projectcounter.org/code_practice.html
Promoting and accessing electronic journals • Formerly complicated to ascertain availability • Resource discovery and resource location separate activities • Two lists to search • Lists did not include database and free titles
Promoting and accessing electronic journals • Link Resolver (SFX) uses OpenURL to identify availability of material • Link between resource discovery and location requires less effort • Demonstration
..and finally • Any questions? • Thank you
