Open Access E-Journal (and E-Book) Activations

THIS PAGE CONTAINS OUTDATED INFORMATION AND IS ARCHIVED

The following notes cover what open access (OA) e-journals (and e-books) e-resources staff make available through our SFX and OCLC knowledge bases and how they are doing this. OA e-journal MARC records for our UMA catalog are generated through the SFX knowledge base. Activating OA e-books and e-journals also enables linking from our E-Journals List (e-journals only), abstracting and indexing databases and View Now links in UMA WorldCat. The workflows continue and work together with free resource cataloging procedures in BAMU.

List of requested free resources.
