Highlights
E-journal sites that offer full-text access to only some of the titles shown are confusing and potentially time-wasting for researchers
A paper presented at the JANET User Group for Libraries (JUGL) seminar, Sheffield Hallam University, June 1997
In one-to-one and group meetings conducted in the researchers offices we : loaded and set up Adobe Acrobat; demonstrated the PSLI sites; asked researchers about the sites, and about how they did or would use them; administered a questionnaire, not to generate significant quantitative data in its own right, but to gather background details on the researchers interviewed
Summary
A paper presented at the JANET User Group for Libraries (JUGL) seminar, Sheffield Hallam University, June 1997. In a small local suruey the PSLI was evaluated at Sussex University. Personal contact and printed journals are still the major sources of information for researchers. When they do use electronic sources they want to be able to target their efforts effectively on a good quantity of relevant information in a readily accessible form. The Pilot Site Licence Initiative is one of the most important developments so far in electronic journals. At Sussex we decided to conduct a small, local user evaluation of the PSLI and certain other electronic journal sites. Since John Fielden and Colin Harris from the Commonwealth Higher Education Management Service have suggested proposals for a national user evaluation of the ELI, and Sussex may well contribute to that
