Per-article purchase available in OCLC electronic collections online
Per-article purchase available in OCLC electronic collections online
Purchase of individual electronic journal articles is now available from the OCLC FirstSearch electronic collections online database on the OCLC FirstSearch service.
This new feature enables libraries to complement their existing journal subscriptions and plan future subscriptions to electronic journals. This purchase option is available to all FirstSearch users.
Per-article purchase is available initially for articles in over 1,100 journals from 22 publishers. The full complement of approximately 2,500 journals from 42 participating publishers will soon be available.
To help libraries decide when to subscribe to journals in which they purchase articles, OCLC FirstSearch usage statistics (http://www.stats.oclc.org) will report journal-level monthly totals of the number of articles purchased and the total expenditure for each journal title.
Libraries may activate the feature that allows users to view these articles through the FirstSearch administrative module. Information about managing this new administrative option is available in the FirstSearch documentation at http://www.oclc.org/firstsearch/documentation/pap.htm. Fees for viewing these articles will be included in monthly invoices sent to the library.
