Serials Collection Review 2010

For Fiscal Year 2011, beginning July 1, 2010, Fogler Library's anticipated annual serials expenditures are $4,872,000. The Library should be able to continue its current subscriptions and standing orders given its budget and supplementary inflation funding from the University, and funds provided by MEIF (Maine Economic Improvement Fund).

The Library maintains a watch list of serial titles for which changes are recommended in FY11. At this time (March 2010) there are several proposed changes for 2011, but no cancellations. Please send feedback about proposed changes to Deborah Rollins, Head of Collection Services.

Note that many vendors announce new pricing and packages in the summer or fall of the year preceding the subscription year. This means that some decisions about changes for 2011 (such as format changes, cancellations, additions) must be made later in 2010 than the spring semester. An updated list of proposed changes will be posted in early September 2010, prior to submitting the library's final renewal lists for 2011 to our vendors.

Requests for new subscriptions continue to be added to the existing request list, which will be consulted if additional funds become available. Use the Journal Recommendation Form.

The links below lead to title lists of the library's current individual serials subscriptions. The library also provides access from our e-journals portal http://library.umaine.edu/ejournals/ to more than 60,000 journals and magazines from paid subscriptions to various journal packages (e.g. Project MUSE, SpringerLink, ScienceDirect, IEEE, Sage, Taylor & Francis, Wiley Interscience) and databases (e.g. Academic Search Premier) that include full-text journals.
