Except when I want to read a current article for the purpose of seeing if it's suitable for a class.<br /><br />LFC, <br /><br />I get that, but it's not a good state of affairs when a flagship state university should have to choose between major journals in a non-obscure academic field.Kindred Winecoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14330671232391851377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1331441403058020963.post-5177991172007472022012-01-17T09:51:15.886-05:002012-01-17T09:51:15.886-05:00P.s. that is a good rant that you link to.P.s. that is a good rant that you link to.LFChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13551197682770555147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1331441403058020963.post-20989889118590347252012-01-17T09:44:14.513-05:002012-01-17T09:44:14.513-05:00Not clear from what you say that PSQ is the party ...Not clear from what you say that PSQ is the party to blame here. Maybe -- I have no idea -- it costs roughly the same to get a current online institutional sub to PSQ as to, say, IO, and the library decided for whatever reason to take IO but not PSQ. As I say, I have no idea, but I wouldn't necessarily jump to conclusions...LFChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13551197682770555147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1331441403058020963.post-13052997545291857472012-01-16T08:38:09.719-05:002012-01-16T08:38:09.719-05:00From experience, I can tell you that it is importa...From experience, I can tell you that it is important for departments to make clear to the library what they want. Perhaps PSQ is part of a bundle of electronic journals that are too expensive, but an email to the library (even from a grad student, though of course a faculty member carries more weight) could have an effect.Greg Weekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765114859595124082noreply@blogger.com
