JOURNALS ON CD-ROM LAURIE MEYER 02 Aug 1991 17:08 UTC

In the past year our library acquired the UMI Pro-Quest database system,
with many of the journals indexed on the system available full-text.  I
am curious as to how other libraries are dealing with journals which are
available to them in electronic format.  Do you count these journals
together with your bound and micro-format journals to get volume and
title counts?  Do you treat them differently from the "traditional"
journal collection and what problems have this new format created
for your periodicals department.  Of course, I would also like to know
what you like and what are the advantages for your periodicals department.
Reply directly to me or to the list.
