Library to Withdraw Print Journals PNAS and Annals of Surgery
Scott Memorial Library is preparing to withdraw almost 50 years of the print version of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), and over 100 years of the Annals of Surgery:
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
volume 43, 1957 – volume 103, 2006Annals of Surgery
volume 3, 1886 – volume 246, 2007
The Library provides access to an electronic copy of each title for use by all Jeffersonians. We plan to withdraw the print copies since the electronic version complies with the quality standards outlined in our Print Withdrawal Policy.
If you are interested in obtaining the print version of one or more years of these titles, please contact Diana Ryan (Diana.Ryan@jefferson.edu) before Friday, November 13, 2009.
Note that in the process of converting print to electronic in the case of PNAS, the Library has been able to double its years of coverage, extending our subscription back to the very first issue (1915), in addition to making the content much more accessible for all Jeffersonians. In the case of the Annals of Surgery, the electronic version spans the entire life of the journal from volume 1 to present.
Electronic articles are now available 24 x 7 for all Jeffersonians, whether or not they are on campus, and no matter how many want to use it concurrently. The Library’s databases such as PubMed and Scopus link their results to the online article, for greater ease of retrieval.
