Resumen de Perpetual Access Information in Serials Holdings Records

Andrew R. Grissom, Steven A. Knowlton, Rachel Elizabeth Scott

• Many librarians find it difficult to compile information about perpetual access to their e-journals because it may be scattered across numerous license agreements. Rather than creating and maintaining a database for perpetual access information that is separate from the order records and holdings information found in integrated library systems (ILS), the University of Memphis is using Innovative Interfaces� Sierra ILS. By leveraging fixed and variable-length fields to record perpetual access information, we can perform queries and generate reports that are helpful in making collection development and preservation decisions.
