Scott Plutchak, speaking at the 2006 North American Serials Interest Group 2006 conference, suggested that the serials container, that is the title, volume and issue number, and publication date, will become less important because publishing on the Web allows individual articles to be published as they are ready. If open access develops into a successful and accepted mode of publishing, more scientific and scholarly information will be freely available to all. Except for reference works, electronic books will likely only become popular when e-book readers become more similar to print books and when the price of these devices drops significantly.
While a library may provide a catalog record for an electronic resource, the nature of many of these resources such as abstract-and-indexing databases or full-text aggregators may be “lost” in the catalog for the purposes of patron use. Thus many libraries provide access to aggregators and indexing databases from their library’s Website, often from some kind of pathfinder or guide to electronic resources (Brown, Nelson, Wineburgh-Freed, 2005; Shorten, 2006), as well as providing additional full-text access points via openURL, creating yet another difference in the workflow.
The networks generally had to be set up and managed by a network administrator, and often added to the overall cost of these databases to libraries (Flanders, 1990). onlIne dAtAbAses Online databases were still very much in use in the 1980’s. Full-text articles began to be added to online bibliographic databases toward the middle of the decade, which made these databases even more useful. Online searching at this time was generally done via the TELNET protocol and private, for-profit networks, not the Internet.
