In response to Marcella Lester's post inquiring about e-journal
management
services, we would like to correct a misunderstanding.

TDNet does not "sell the electronic subscriptions"; in other words, we
are
not a subscription agent. Rather, our product enables libraries to
outsource
the management of e-journal access, much as libraries outsource book
acquisition, serials ordering, and other functions. TDNet tracks,
manages
and updates links to aggregators and database providers at the title
level;
tracks and manages changes in aggregator content; manages password
distribution for titles requiring password authorization; and captures
and
reports usage statistics by title, vendor, aggregator, etc., among other
services.

TDNet was launched in the United States this Spring and is being
installed
in several US clients. For more information on TDNet, visit the booth at
the
upcoming ALA annual conference, or contact Michael Markwith, President
(888
705 3582, michael@tdnet.teldan.com) or me.

Is there anyone on the list that can comment on the services offered
by either Serials Solutions or Journal Web Cite, LLC?  I've looked
at the Serialst Archives and there were a couple of postings earlier
in the year by libraries who were looking at the services but I
haven't seen anything yet by libraries who have actually purchased
the service.  Serials Solutions provides a link to a couple of their
customers so I've looked at that.

I've also looked at TDNet but I'm not sure if their services are what
we are looking for.  It looks like they actually sell the electronic
subscriptions as well as provide list management??
