We do not have a subscription to
this title. We cannot accommodate PDF files at our Library because we don’t
print PDF copies due to budgetary constraints. I didn’t think about
copying it to a CD-ROM. Again if we copy to CD-ROM that is an extra
charge for the CD’s.
Thanks,

Subject: [SERIALST] Is anyone receiving e-mail subscriptions?
My
library has recently discovered our longstanding subscription to the Canadian
Journal of Veterinary Research has changed from print to online, but the online
delivery methods are problematic for us.
The
current issue can be found on the publisher’s website but it requires a
password to access it, and this is not feasible for an institution with our
enrollment.
The
publisher also sent us a copy of the issue as an email attachment to us, with
these instructions:
Our
method of sending this journal to you each quarter will
be in PDF-format. Please note that it is permitted for you
to put it onto your intranet or Web site with password
protection, and/or print a copy and bind it, or alternatively, you can copy
the PDF to a CDROM for circulation among library patrons.
This
title is also being made available on PubMed Central but the most recent issue
of this quarterly will not be available there, so if we want our patrons to
have access to it, we need to make the email version available in some way.
We
were interested in finding out if other libraries have dealt with the issue of
e-mail serial subscriptions, and how they decided to make it available to their
public.
Thank
you,
