Abstract

This article illustrates the development and enhancement of a web service to provide access to online journals at the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library (CMHSL), University of Virginia Health System. The custom-designed system is intended to provide efficient access to electronic journals and is the library's most visited web page. A project team of librarians and web developers decided to enhance the page by adding: 1) a link to Journal Citation Reports® (Thomson Reuters) Impact Factors, 2) a simple web form for setting up e-mail subscriptions to tables of contents, and 3) a one-click action to subscribe to RSS feed table of contents services. The process for choosing and implementing these enhancements is described, as well as the rationale behind devoting time and expertise to efforts surrounding the electronic journal page.
