Re: "Which periodicals does this library subscribe to?" Davies, April C 27 Aug 2008 19:33 UTC

We have an Access database for our print titles that feeds to our website. When the database is updated, so is the website. It's also used to generate a printed list. It's not divided by status, though I suppose it could be. Our print titles are also included in our Serials Solutions A-Z list with the electronic stuff.

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

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