The paper describes patterns of electronic journal usage in health sciences libraries during the past decade.
The paper presents a case study, documenting the pattern of acquisition, management, and usage at the Louis Calder Memorial Library of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
Health sciences journals were early to offer electronic alternatives to print. As a result, health sciences libraries, their patrons, and the public at large were early to embrace the new versions and continue to embrace the significant changes in scholarly communication they enable. Although the patterns of electronic journals among health sciences libraries and other special and academic libraries have similarities, they also have differences. Broad studies of electronic journals in non-health sciences libraries have been published, but a retrospective review of electronic journals in health sciences libraries has not.
本文描述了过去十年健康科学图书馆中电子期刊的使用模式。
本文呈现了一个案例研究，记录了迈阿密大学米勒医学院路易斯·考尔德纪念图书馆的采购、管理和使用模式。
健康科学期刊很早就提供了印刷版的电子替代版本。因此，健康科学图书馆、其读者以及广大公众很早就接受了新版本，并继续接受它们所带来的学术交流方面的重大变革。尽管健康科学图书馆与其他专业和学术图书馆在电子期刊使用模式上有相似之处，但也存在差异。关于非健康科学图书馆电子期刊的广泛研究已经发表，但尚未对健康科学图书馆的电子期刊进行回顾性研究。
