Changes in Journal Collections at HSLS

Faced with a limited budget for 2011, HSLS had to make difficult decisions about journal renewals for next year. To determine which titles to eliminate, we analyzed available metrics, including usage statistics, cost-per-use, annual price increase rate, impact factor, and interlibrary loan activity.

As a result, HSLS will cancel access to the journals listed below. Individual articles can be ordered for a small fee through our Document Delivery Service.

The savings gained through cancellations were used to renew the remaining journal subscriptions and to add two new titles:

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology and Transfusion and Apheresis Science. The online archives of Radiology (beginning with volume 1 in 1923) were also added.

As usual at the end of the year, some journals are subject to publisher transfers and consolidations; some titles are ceased and some are initiated. As a result, HSLS will gain online access to the following journals:

  • Allergy and Rhinology
  • Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics
  • Behavior Research Methods
  • Cellular Oncology
  • Environmental Biosafety Research
  • European Physical Journal Plus
  • Journal of Applied Genetics
