Library Expands Access to Electronic Journals

In January 2000 the LSUHSC Library continued its initiative to expand electronic access to resources through the purchase of the IDEAL® electronic journal package from Academic Press. IDEAL (International Digital Electronic Access Library) is an online library featuring full-text journals from Academic Press and other respected publishers, such as W.B. Saunders, Ltd. and Churchill Livingstone Press. Full-text access to approximately 119 titles is now available electronically. Of that number the Library has both print and electronic access to 47 titles and 72 titles for which there is only the electronic version.

This access was accomplished through a consortium arrangement between the South Central Academic Medical Libraries Consortium (SCAMeL) and Academic Press. SCAMeL is composed of the academic health science libraries in the five-state region of Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas.

IDEAL®Alert link removed, a new current awareness service from IDEAL. Registered users will receive via e-mail both daily and weekly Digests of the latest journal issues available on IDEAL as well as individual journal Tables of Content. To begin using the service a person simply completes the Registration Form. Once registered, a user can make additions and deletions to the journals of interest.

To access the IDEAL titles a user must have a web browser, Adobe's free Acrobat Reader software, and must be connected to the LSUHSC campus network. Links to the titles are included in the Library's online catalog (the Innopac link removed), or a user can access all the Library's electronic journals from the Library's homepage and the Electronic Access to Journals & Books link removed list. The electronic holdings for many IDEAL titles are 1999 forward. For others, access begins with the issues in 2000.

The LSUHSC Library continues to expand its electronic access to both journal and book resources. Your suggestions and questions are welcomed. For assistance in using these resources or any others in the library, please contact the Reference Department link removed at 568-6102 or 568- 8339.
