Archival access (pre-1995) to eight journals from the Organic Chemistry backfile has been added to ScienceDirect.

All titles will be accessible from the Journals page tomorrow and will be in the Catalogue mid-September.

You can find a link from the ScienceDirect record on the Databases-S page to information about the 7 backfiles collections we now have.

In responding to the question asked, “When will these titles appear in the Library Catalogue and the Journals lists?” (see Gale Additions) a bigger question arose: “Should all Academic OneFile (AOF) titles or just selected titles be added to the Catalogue?”

Current situation
General OneFile (GOF) has 6817 full titles available via Serials Solutions and Academic OneFile (AOF) has 5322 titles. In order to minimise numbers of titles common to multiple databases, we currently have titles from the subsets of GOF, Expanded Academic Index (2622) and LegalTrac (229) in the Catalogue and the Journals page. The entire content of GOF is available in 360 Search.

We are reluctant to include both AOF and GOF titles in the Catalogue because of the holding overlap (journals available in more than one database) with our other resources. AOF and GOF combined have a 61% overlap, i.e., percentage of holdings overlapped by at least one other holding from another database. However, AOF has more scholarly journal content (67%) and has 1653 unique titles (titles not available in other databases).

Comparisons
Titles available in AOF and Expanded Academic Index (EAI):
• academic journals – AOF 12,000 EAI 4,500
• full-text journals – AOF 5,000 EAI 2,600
• peer-reviewed journals – AOF 7,300 EAI 3,000

Options
We need to assess the following options:
• remove EAI and LT titles and replace with AOF titles
• add all AOF titles
• add only unique titles from AOF
