Himmelfarb Library Faculty Posters and Presentations
This poster represents the culmination of a year’s work by the Journals@Himmelfarb committee. This intra-library committee was formed to discuss the critical issues surrounding transitioning print journal subscriptions to electronic access only. In response to these discussions, collection development policies were created to reflect both print and electronic resources, a model electronic license was created, and faculty department heads were surveyed as to the usefulness and format preference for titles in their subject area. This resulted in improved understanding of the existing collection and assisted in developing the first steps for migrating from a print to an electronic collection.

Will the new paperless journals make your life easier?
Finding out what’s available
How much will it cost?
How consortial agreements can help keep costs in line
Freebies - are they any good?
Good things come to those who wait - new options appear on the horizon
