Re: Workflow for electronic journals Borchert, Carol Ann 21 Apr 2005 19:07 UTC

We have an ejournals processing slip, which is a bit complicated.  We
incorporated as many checkbox options as possible.  If anyone wants a
copy, please contact me directly; I can't send a Word document to the
list.

As for keeping track of titles, we've created an Access database
in-house to handle e-resources.  Most of these are databases, including
ejournal packages, not specific titles.  We are looking at other
alternatives; this database has been quirky.

Hi all,

Just wondering if there is anyone who is dealing with the revision of
workflow due to a move toward a more robust electronic journal
collection and a dwindling print collection?  I'll take either anecdotal
information or if you have it formalized in a workflow chart that would
be super.  Also, any advice on how to make the move smoothly and, maybe
more importantly, how are you keeping track of all those titles?  Do you
use a commercial product like Ex Libris' Verde or other - what homegrown
solutions are workable?

Thanks,
Susan
