Slide 32 of 33
“Making the ACS journals available to students and faculty is the single most important thing I have seen any library do.”
“Look at the total cost of the information package rather than to look separately at the paper and electronic components…our cost per use on ACS journals is among our lowest…our faculty rate their quality above that of the more expensive publishers.”
“An excellent conversion of the ACS journals into an electronic, web-accessed version.”
