Impact on Users
• Comments from Faculty
I am going to be brief and to the point:
the online journal service is GREAT!!!
To date, I haven’t been all that excited
about the library services on this
campus; however, this has really
changed my opinion.
The value of electronic journals
must be measured by more than
just the content —
the public relations
value is inestimable
June 3, 2003
I have found the use of electronic
journals is now an indispensable part
of my work. I used this extensively in
preparing my recent grant applications.
IATUL
The addition of access to full text
journal articles via your web site is
terrific; the most positive step in
handling of library materials since
computerized catalogs.
