Abstract

Traditionally, librarians have provided access to journal titles through the library’s catalog. With the introduction of full-text databases, which consist of articles from many different journals, librarians are faced with the challenge of providing access to these titles. This article reports the results of a survey which tried to determine if research libraries were attempting to catalog the titles in aggregated databases and the issues surrounding their decision.
