EJournal Package Maintenance

Most of our e-journal packages are subscriptions and the titles included may change from year to year. Maintaining an accurate account of our legitimate access requires review and updates in SFX, WorldCat Local knowledge base, the proxy configuration file, etc. Catalog records in Aleph are maintained with the MARCit service.

A list of packages and review status is maintained at R/S:\Acquisitions\Electronic resources\PackageReviewStatus.xlsx.

We have 6 sections or different types of subscriptions that make up our IOP online access.

• Historic Archive Perpetual (fixed access)
• Recent Archive Perpetual (fixed access)
• Package B: Research and Review Journals (mostly 10 yr. rolling)
• Package F: Option 2 (10 yr. rolling)
• Institutional subscriptions (a few individual subscriptions)
• Free Access (several free titles)

Title lists may be obtained from the IOP website, http://librarians.iop.org/subs Many titles are found in two or more “sections”, either from the beginning of publiction to the middle, or the middle to current. For example, Metrologia is found in the Historic Archive 1965-1994, and Recent Archive 1995-2010. We do not have access to the most recent year. Also, there are many title changes, and title merges in IOP. Each title must be activated in SFX with it's corresponding threshold. The majority of these IOP titles have had local theresholds created in SFX. Titles that are found in the Historic Archive, and are not continued in any other section have been activated in the INSTITUTE_OF_PHYSICS_HISTORICAL_ARCHIVE. All other titles have been activated in the INSTITUTE_OF_PHYSICS_SCIENCE target.

Wiley opt-ins are temporarily free for Core subscribers but we need to register to obtain access. Opt-ins usually become paid titles in subsequent years and we can choose not to subscribe when they cease to be free. See and update R/S:Acquisitions/Electronic resources/Wiley/Wiley_[year]/WileyOptInsandCoreCancellations[year].

• Check previous opt-ins against current Wiley title list to see if they have become paid titles.
  • Continuing as opt-ins. If access is still available, leave as is.
  • No longer opt-ins.
    • Subscriptions. Order records should be updated. SFX access should be changed to WILEY_ONLINE_JOURNALS target.
    • Not subscribing. Close order records with note. Suppress bib. Deactivate in SFX.

• Find the list of current year opt-ins on the Wiley site (may be in master journal title list).
  • Send opt-ins to selectors. Contact Wiley to activate any titles chosen by selectors. Activate in SFX when available. Attach order record to MARCIt record when it arrives; add note that title is opt-in.
  • Create Dummy order records including a “DO NOT PAY” note for activated opt-ins.
