Issue Date: | 2003 | Volume: | Library and Information Services in Astronomy IV (LISA IV), Emerging and Preserving: Providing Astronomical Information in the Digital Age | Editors: | Corbin, Brenda G.; Bryson, Elizabeth P.; Wolf, Marek | First Page: | 304 | Abstract: | We present the results of a two year study on the nature, cost and use of periodicals in Italian Astronomical Libraries (IALs). In the year 2000, IALs spent two-thirds of the budget (∼440.000 Euros) for serial subscriptions. This fact provided an incentive for the 12 Observatory librarians to investigate the potential for developing a consortium. In so doing, we first analysed characteristics of our individual collections and then evaluated the cost of on-line access as opposed to paper subscriptions. Then we studied the relationship between cost and serial usage. | Conference Name: | Library and Information Services in Astronomy IV (LISA IV), Emerging and Preserving: Providing Astronomical Information in the Digital Age | Conference Place: | Prague, Czech Republic | Conference Date: | 2-5 July, 2002 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/26174 | URL: | http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/pdf/2003lisa.conf..304B | Bibcode ADS: | 2003lisa.conf..304B | Fulltext: | open |
