In answer to Barbara Blummers question we were able to add a lot of unique titles in the sciences thru our Serials Solutions portal a-z listing. All we have to do is manage that through the client center administration. Adding these SPARC titles was really simple. I was really impressed.

each archive (if an archive's data is missing, it means it
is not yet celestial-compliant: please contact the archive
administrator to urge them to correct this so their progress
can be tracked):

Subject: Help with a citation
I have a faculty member that needs a citation from an article. The =
journal is called California Magazine, the author is Kate Coleman (she =
interviewed someone), and it was published in 1980. That is all I know. =
I need to somehow find out the title of the article, the volume number, =
issue number and page numbers. I would appreciate any help anyone can =
provide.

Subject: Re: Help with citation.
Thank you so much to everyone who responded to my inquiry about the Kate =
Coleman interview in California Magazine. If you are curious the =
journal name is wrong and the full citation is as follows.
New West, May 19, 1980 v5 p17(8)
Souled out. (Eldridge Cleaver) Kate Coleman.
Everyone have a great weekend!

From: Barbara Blummer <bablumm@SUPER.ORG>
Subject: Open Access Journals & Institutional Repositories
I am wondering what other librarians are doing to facilitate the use of
open access journals and institutional repositories in their
organizations. I am especially interested in how librarians are
facilitating the use of open access publishing, either through journals or
repositories, and also how this has impacted their libraries regarding
costs and roles.
Thank you very much.
