“One stop shopping to see if an article is available fulltext!”
“The A-Z list is a great place to go and see if an article is available locally or in one of our databases”
“Students who want to find articles in a journal title can do so quickly and efficiently!”
“Students are able to find out what database indexes periodicals their instructors require them to read. They can actually search for a topic within all of the issues of a specific periodical.”
“Faculty like the A-Z list because they can have students read articles from current issues of specific journals in their field”
“Students seem reluctant to click on the Article Linker hyperlink – it would help if the link ONLY showed up when other full text possibilities/local holdings were available”
“The article links do not always go down to the article level, but we knew that going in”
Faculty/Staff Evaluation“Sometimes the A-Z list refers to a sub-database collection that we don’t subscribe to –JSTOR’s Arts and Sciences III Collection”
