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.
