THE E-JBLTRNAL CHALLENGE The following fiill-text electronic journals are available through the Library's web site: htlp://,uww. library. tnrc edu To connect to the 111 text, go to the Library's Home Page, click on Core Biomedical Titles in the Elec- tronic Journal Section, and then browse alphabetically to the journal title you scck. Click on the title to access the journal.

Publishers are offering temporary FREE trial acccss to linutcd lull-text titles with paid print s~lbscriptions. We arc taking advantage of thcse trial on'ers, and also taking steps to cxpand our nunlbcr of paid C-suibscriplions bascd on thc needs of our users. Funding and ongoing support of e-journals is a major challenge for the Library. Thc Library will nccd to pay lor print and non-print c-subscrip- tlons. Because users still want pnnt-titlcs, the budget is stretchcd.  here arc also copyright and arcluving issucs that need to be resolved. In the meantime, the Library is exploring various funding strategies, illcluding consortia1 arrangcments, for cost-cffectivc c-subscriptions. Acquiring and implementing c-subscriptions is a complex proccss. Over fifty different pricing models have been identified lor subscriptions to electronic Ill-text journals. Tllesc models includc site license agreements for groups of titles fiom the same publisher; in other cascs, a title-by-title approach is required. Database vendors also provide fee-for-servicc arrangements. Common modes of access to e-journals iilcludc IP address verification and passwordPM. The IP mode is easy, but restricts access to campus IP addresses only. Remote access (from home, work, etc.) rcquires an additional autl~orization process. PasswordrPIN access, while straightfor- ward for individual subscribers, raises site liccnsc costs for the Library because we have thousands of users. T h ~ s  is an exciting tinlc in Ihc evolution of health sciences literature. We plan to engagc In fu~tulrc pilot testing and will ask uiscrs to participate. Questions'? Contact Dawn Bick (dbick@library.lmc.edu or 713-799-7126). HEALTH REFERENCE CENTER Health Reference Center (HRC) is now available from the Library's Home Page.
