Faculty Serials Review - Survey of Print Journals

The USF Library Council is working with the librarians at the Tampa Library to survey faculty on their use of the print journals collection. The goal is to identify current print subscriptions that we suspect receive low use in the library and could be replaced with higher demand titles.

Later this week, all natural sciences, social sciences, and engineering faculty will be recieving a link to the Faculty Serials Review survey for their respective colleges/disciplines.  The survey will consists of journal titles,  sorted by discipline, that are available in printed format only and have no electronic equivalent and others that are available with varying levels of full-text through one or more of the libraries’ databases. You are invited to survey any combination of these “print only” and “print + online” titles both within and outside your discipline. 

When you receive the link to your survey, please fill it out before April 21, 2008.  The results of this survey will be made available in September 2008.

Your participation is greatly appreciated. Please contact Cheryl McCoy (Natural Sciences), John Abresch (Social Sciences) or Matt Torrence (Engineering) if you have questions or comments about the Faculty Serials Review.    Thank you.
