  27. Conclusions • This way of looking at our collection will play a role in future decisions about new databases • It might be more useful to acquire journal content, instead of additional bibliographical databases. • Primo should get more attention in our library skills courses as a one stop tool to get to our journal subscriptions. • Ulrich’s Journal Data is a great framework to map all kind of journal information onto. • If possible, efforts must be made to supplement Primo with databases and publishers not yet indexed. IGeLU, Oxford 2014

  28. Subjects • We are missing journals on AbstractingandIndexing services!
