Sciencedirect Journals Update
In January 2006, WOU started an online subscription to 67 titles from Elsevier's Sciencedirect. Many of these titles were titles that were regularly borrowed through interlibrary loan, others, we subscribed to in print, but had no electronic access to. As of September 1, 2006 933 full-text articles had been downloaded from 60 of 67 titles in the new package.
The 10 titles that were used the most (633 of 933 uses) were:
Personality and Individual Differences
Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research
Journal of Adolescent Health
Biological Psychology
Brain and Cognition
Earth and Planetary Science Letters
Journal of Adolescence
Social Science & Medicine
Journal of the American Dietetic Association
Brain and Language
Of these, WOU had current print subscriptions to 1/2. For the others, we would have needed to request interlibrary loans (at an average cost of $36.00) in order for one person to have access to those articles.
