Journals cancelled
In line with the 2010 Library Review’s recommendations, Council has agreed to reduce Library costs by a further £35k in 2013, writes Fabienne Michaud.
The savings will be achieved through a combination of income generation and reduced expenditure. In order to achieve this, the Library identified 26 journals for cancellation which:
- were duplicate subscriptions
- would be gifted in future
- would be received on exchange in the future
- received fewer than three uses per year
- are free online
- the relevant specialist group indicated it did not wish to retain.
The candidate journals were reviewed by Council and their cancellation approved in November 2012. For a full list, please see www.geolsoc.org.uk/libraryreview
