Library Serials Review and BioOne Life Sciences Collection

The Library has undertaken a relatively small review of its journal holdings in 2005. After consultation with relevant groups ten titles were cancelled and two new single subscriptions initiated, taking effect from the beginning of 2006. Of considerable greater significance, however, is the addition of the BioOne electronic collection to the Library's holdings. BioOne consists mainly of learned society journals in the pure and applied life sciences; these are titles that have fallen outside the large publishers' packages. Out of a total of 82 titles 52 will be totally new to Massey while many of the others have been available in print only, including Auk, Journal of Parasitology and Annals of the Entomological Society of America. The BioOne package will be available from the beginning of 2006.
