A-Z Journals List

The national core content team are considering purchasing access to an A-Z service for the electronic journals. The current service (hosted by NeLH) is put together by the Core Content team every month using arcane potions and strange symbols (otherwise known as Tea and HTML).

The problem with this static list is that is only shows the national journals and does not reflect all the millions spent on journals by local NHS libraries and SHAs. Therefore we are finding out how much a service would cost that will show end users which journals are available to them (irrespective of their location).

Hopefully we should have more information if we can go ahead with this after the next Core Content meeting in May
