In response to Loraine's question (below), we only list titles to which we have current access in our A-Z list in Serials Solutions. This includes titles for prior subscriptions, now cancelled, as long as we have significant holdings. Our patrons know that they should also check the catlog for print issues if they don't find a desired title in our eJournals list and then can request an ILL for something they don't find in either location. I hope I responded to your actual question; contact me off-list if you would like. Rena Sheffer (Ms.) Rena Sheffer, M.L.S.

Our decision has been to go with a customized list of e-only titles with a backfile. To ease faculty concerns that they were losing access to core titles we were cancelling, we had assured them they could have desktop document delivery to those titles. Our question now is, as Serial Solution users, do we list all of Elsevier's available titles in our A-Z list (something I'm sure they would love!) or do we just limit the A-Z listings to those titles we had access to and allow serendipity to take care of the rest? We encourage access to titles through our A-Z list vs our OPAC. =20 We were wondering how anyone else who may be in a similar situation has handled access to unsubscribed titles for which you are willing- but not necessarily anxious- to offer desktop document delivery for? =20 Thanks in advance! =20 Loraine M.

We also provide desktop document delivery for selected departments, but this is for faculty only via login/password. This service has worked very well so far. We are not currently adding unsubscribed titles to our SS profile. Students may continue to request articles not held at Trinity via ILL. -Jennifer Jennifer van Sickle Serials Librarian & Sciences Coordinator Trinity College Library 300 Summit St. Hartford, CT USA 06106 jennifer.vansickle@trincoll.edu phone: 860-297-2250 fax: 860-297-2251 -----Original Message----- From: SERIALST: Serials in Libraries Discussion Forum [mailto:SERIALST@LIST.UVM.EDU] On Behalf Of Wies, Loraine M.
