We contract with SerialsSolutions for this.  For the result of their efforts, see   http://exlibris.colgate.edu/# , click on the "JournalFinder" tab, and enter a search.  Once you are there you can browse.

We used to do a printed list.  It was an involved procedure to produce it as one had to define the set of publications that beloned on it.  When we began injecting prefabricated cataloguing into our OPAC ('ere SerialsSolutions) to add some indication of the publications to be found in the aggregator databases we had purchased, this printed list was discontinued.

Subject: [SERIALST] "Which periodicals does this library subscribe to?"

Dear all --

Do you hear as often as I do from library users asking "Which periodicals does this library subscribe to?"

How do you answer them?  In most libraries I've worked in or visited, the answer is provided by a printed list (often marked up by pencil) that's kept at the reference or periodicals desk, OR the reader is referred to the library catalog.

In contrast to an annotated paper list or an ILS-generated list (most of which seem maddeningly incoherent and are fiendishly difficult to make complete), I'm looking for libraries that provide a single, coherent, readable list of their periodical titles on their library websites.  I'm especially interested in libraries that neatly divide the titles into categories such as titles that are currently subscribed to vs. those in which historical issues only are held.

Thanks for your advice!

Karyn Hinkle
