Abstract

Reports the results of a continuous study of access issues related to electronic journals currently distributed via the Taiwan Academic Network (TANet). Data are reported on the accessibility of electronic journals, the status of electronic journal archives, the subject coverage, the indexing and abstracting services, and the various data formats used by electronic journals. The findings illustrate the practical issues that can arise when users attempt to retrieve the texts of electronic journals. The implications for academic and research libraries are also considered.
