B. Building Quality Serials Collections: What's Their Secret?

Yvette Diven, R.R. Bowker

Is there a secret formula for defining journal quality? This session will present several strategies that academic librarians are using to define their collections' depth and quality.

C. Electronic Resources Management
(Dogwood B Room)

Andrew Pace, North Carolina State University

D. Beyond FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records): Identifying a Serials Work in the Digital Age
(Windflower A Room)

Frieda Rosenberg, UNC-Chapel Hill

E. Making It Our Own: Creating a Customized Product from an "Out-of-the-Box" Link Resolver Software Package
(Windflower B Room)

Linda Kubala, Saint Joseph's University
Kristine E. Mudrick, Saint Joseph's University

The Reference and Serials/Technical Services departments at Francis A. Drexel Library have a long-standing history of cooperation and immediate reaction to any access problems that our patrons have concerning full-text retrieval of journal articles. The fact that we have many electronic resources available for our students is a very positive thing. The fact that a large number of these resources each present a different interface and method of full-text retrieval is a negative thing. Working together, we have gone well beyond the point of balance and students and their scholarship reap the benefit.
