Western-language Journals Offsite


For a number of years, we have kept only the most recent four years of Chinese, Japanese and Korean journals in Kent, with back volumes in various offsite locations. We are in the process of adding back issues of Western-language periodicals to offsite now as well.

Staff as well as users have had concerns about finding these materials, especially during this interim period when materials are in process for moving offsite, and created lists of journals most often used. As some of you may know, many of these journals are now available online. Web CLIO shows two (or more) records, one for the print and one for the electronic version, and it just requires a click to get into the electronic version, so you can print out an article.

In addition, once the new offsite facility, ReCAP, is up and running next semester, articles from Western-language journals can be requested online through the Web-based RequestIt service, and articles will be posted to a URL that will then be sent directly to the patron, with no mediation, or by fax.

For the time being, we will process and send off less heavily used periodical runs only, keeping more heavily used runs here until ReCAP has been up and running smoothly for a while. During the spring semester, I would be grateful to hear about your experiences with ordering journal articles from offsite.
