-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Lists of core periodicals - Summary Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2001 14:03:47 -0500 From: Liu Liu <liuliu@usa.com> Hi, Thank you very much for people who have responded to my question regarding core lists of periodicals. Here is the summary: 1. Books recommended include: Katz's Magazines for Libraries (Bowker), Brandon-Hill list for nursing, and Baker Library Core List, and a Libraries Unlimited series of books on sources for several subject areas. 2. Steve Black <blacks@MAIL.STROSE.EDU> has come up with a tentative core list for education at the College of Saint Rose. The periodicals are in descending order based on a formula of faculty opinion, appearance in Magazines for Libraries, impact factor as listed in Journal Citation Reports and cost per use Here it is: Review of Educational Research Phi Delta Kappan Child Development Reading Teacher Reading Research Quarterly Cognitive Psychology Harvard Educational Review Educational Leadership Journal of Educational Psychology Elementary School Journal American Educational Research Journal Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines Journal of Educational Research Sociology of Education Adolescence School Psychology Review Journal of Vocational Behavior Journal of Clinical Psychology Journal of Counseling Psychology Instructor Language Learning Journal of Child Language Journal of Teacher Education Teachers College Record Educational Psychologist Journal of Adolescence Journal of Educational Measurement Journal of Higher Education British Journal of Educational Psychology Counseling Psychologist Psychology in the Schools Journal of Counseling and Development Teaching Pre-K - 8 Child Welfare Journal of Reading Comparative Education Review Young Children Journal of Youth & Adolescence Educational & Psychological Measurement Journal of Experimental Education Educational Administration Quarterly American Journal of Education Journal of Creative Behavior Gifted Child Quarterly Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development NASSP Bulletin Futurist Education Digest Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis Journal of Drug Education Elementary School Guidance & Counseling Contemporary Education Journal of Negro Education Middle School Journal Psychological Record Contemporary Educational Psychology Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy Childhood Education Gifted Child Today Magazine School Counselor Reading Improvement Reading Research & Instruction Journal of School Health Educational Researcher Principal College Student Journal Journal of Early Intervention Journal of Alcohol & Drug Education Counselor Education & Supervision Children Today Journal of Early Adolescence Educational Forum Community College Journal Childrens Literature in Education Teaching & Teacher Education American Educator 3. Methods recommended include: a. Jane Thompson <thompsjl@ucmail.uc.edu> Get the faculty members to write down their 5 or 10 journal titles that are essential to their work/researches. Get an idea of how much that would cost and get appointments with key people in the departments. b. Karen Warren <karen.warren@vuw.ac.nz> Her library worked out "A" category journals as core journals to the courses, "B" journals with high value, and "C" may have been useful with links to other subject fields. c. Ian Woodward <iwoodward@MAIL.COLGATE.EDU> 1) Do a search of the publications of the faulty on Web of Science and the affiliated hard-copy citators, and compile a list of the serial publications that they have cited. Inspect their books as well. 2) Request reports from inter-library loan staff on what titles have been requested. 3) Compile a general list and subject-specific lists of periodicals rank-ordered according to the ratio of price to recorded use. Send a report with figures for price and recorded use per annum to departments, and in return request for their wish lists and the lists of recommended cancellations. 4) Make use of Journal Citation Reports on CD-ROM. It lists titles broken down by discipline which can then be rank-ordered by the ISI impact factor. One can then identify publications with a high impact factor that are not present in the library. Also, consult Eugene Garfield's articles on using the Journal Citation Report. 5) Interact with the faculty and present to them feasible options and specify the constraints and necessary trade-offs. These suggestions are very helpful. Again, thank you very much.
