Subscriptions agents have reengineered their systems to be able to support much of this new e-journal access and registration work. There is no question that the transition from print journals to electronic format has produced a new world order and turned everything in the past upside-down. End users and publishers have landed on their feet. It is the library and the subscription agent that have ended on the bottom of the pile, and both libraries and agents are working to develop systems that reduce the workload and improve access. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
