Managing Electronic Journals from a Vendor's Perspective

Abstract

Subscription vendors do much more than place orders. They can supply services for electronic journal access and management. There are many benefits of using a vendor to manage your electronic journal collection, including access consolidation, one URL and one Web site for the majority of your journals, URL management for all of your journal titles, user statistics and other useful reports to help with collection management, and the ability to link from various sources to get to the full text that users want and need.
