Survey results on current practices in journal collection development
Patricia Thompson 27 Mar 2008 13:46 UTC
Last month I posted a link to a survey focusing on print journal
retention, the movement of journal subscriptions from print to
online-only, and concerns surrounding these issues in academic
libraries. The results were discussed as part of a presentation at
the Electronic Resources & Libraries Conference last
week. http://www.electroniclibrarian.org/ocs/index.php/erl/2008
Thank you to all who participated in the survey. The presentation and
the complete survey results are available at this site:

The study was conducted by Patricia Thompson, University of the
South, and Kelly Smith, Eastern Kentucky University.
