SFX Procedures


The Ejournals Team receives an SFX Report from Jennifer Edwards. This is a list of titles that have potential to be added to VERA, but require further investigation. The Ejournals Team divides the list according to the "package" experts and each person checks the list title by title and creates new records for titles that allow online access within the terms of our current subscription. See examples in the table below:
