Harnessing e-Journal Potential Through TDNet

Simon Best

Management of electronic serial subscriptions is a challenge faced by any library, regardless of nature. TDNet is an integrated package which brings together subscriptions from various publishers and vendors, into one coherent package. This session looks at how TDNet achieves this, along with its advanced features like searching and current awareness alerts.

   
 


The provision of service to remote users is a challenge faced by an increasing number of libraries today. This is particularly the case for the Australia Government's Department of Family and Community Services Library, which has clients not just in different geographic locations but various organisations (all of which come under the one broad portfolio). Over the past year I have been developing access to TDNet, an ingetrator of electronic journal access, for clients of the FaCS Library, who are extremely diverse and spread right across Australia. My presentation will cover:

  • the concept of an electronic journal management package, and how important it is for library clients
  • how TDNet compares to other products in the marketplace
  • description of TDNet's key features such as search, keyword alerts, table of contents alerts, and ordering items
  • the customisability of TDNet to suit a particular library's needs
