There have been one or two instances where Project Muse has lost titles to another publisher, but we have been able to subscribe to the electronic version of those titles through the new publisher. Project Muse has proved to be very stable for us and we have gotten no negative feedback from faculty. I would add, though, that we are generally wary of replacing print subscriptions with electronic access; we are in the process of creating a core print collection that will (hopefully )never be replaced by electronic access. Good luck with your decision! Jenifer Holman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jenifer S.

From: "Mia Brazill" <MBRAZILL@email.smith.edu> Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2003 13:07:34 -0400 Greetings,I just joined rejoined this list two minutes ago after an absence of a couple of years. I need you help. I would appreciate hearing from people who have canceled paper for Project Muse and such publisher collections as Oxford University Press. Have you had any problems, do you have any regrets about this move? I am specifically concerned with the possibility that certain content, i.e., book reviews, may be missing from the online versions. Have there been incidents where this has been the case? We generally have been comfortable, if not happy, letting paper go in the sciences, but there is resistance in the social sciences and humanities. We have all kinds of positive things to say about why we need to do this and the advantages of online, but we don't have answers for the negatives (missing content, archiving concerns, loss of browsability, etc.). Any insights, experiences, advice, are appreciated.Regards, Mia <*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*> Mia Brazill, Coordinator Collection Development/Acquisitions Smith College Libraries, Northampton, MA 01063-0001 tel: 413 585-2922; fax: 413 585-2968; mbrazill@smith.edu <*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*>
