Leaving Serial Hell

Due to illness and job demands I haven’t had time to post. Maybe this blog platform won’t be so different. I am enamoured with Firefox still and it hasn’t crashed at all yet. Once a year my faculty suddenly remember my existence and that is around our Spring Serials Review extravaganza. Usually, I am able to meet all the journal request that I receive from faculty but I quickly realized that the lack of a liaison in one of my departments was going to create new challenges. I have a set of hard science peeps amongst my social scientists and they have a legitimate research need for particular journals. I do not however need to be the person responsible for determining how a $28,000 serials budget was going to find room for $14,000 of new subscriptions. Interlibrary loan is a beautiful thing in my mind and some of my faculty should become more familiar with it. This picture is for my aunt.
