Dear Colleagues,

We have staff that are unhappy with the access to ejournals - eg the time 
it takes to download , access sometimes is only a few years or a year , 
and we have have recently lost access to Ovid titles via Ebsco due to a 
misunderstanding of payment - which caused an enormous loss of confidence 
in the delivery of this product . 

I need to urgently  write a report  (or find one ) that summarises   the 
pros and cons of  online journal management  - so that management 
understand the nature  and issues that we as librarians have to deal with 
when working with this product . That it is not perfect  and often not a 
substitute for print.

I would love to hear other peoples expereiences and comments.

Many Thnaks 

Cleo.
