Thing 22 Netlibrary

Netlibrary I found very useful and an essential tool in our organization. I think this is a very useful tool as our collection is a closed collection and can only be accessed from our organizational premises. What I think might be somewhat negative from our organizational perspective is that our books are very subject specific and very very seldomly used by more that about 2 researchers at a time. Very importantly also is cost associated with Netlibrary. If we have to pay an additional subscription we will first have to evaluate how many people will make use of Netlibrary and accordingly compare price per head to see if this would be a viable acquisition. I will definitely introduce other Info specialists to this tool at our next meeting so that we can put our heads together and evaluate this tool, as researchers and info needs differ across subject fields.
