All change for journals

In the autumn, 173 people gave their views on what journals we should take.  A small group volunteered to help make a final decision.  Unfortunately, like all other departments we had to make savings.  There are some winners and some losers.  Those journals we no longer can access had lower usage than other journals.  I have contacted people in the relevant departments.

We are losing online access to some titles locally.  However, with our community funds and savings elsewhere, we are re-subscribing to the Wiley collection with many titles that will help community staff along with some excellent titles for hospital based staff.  Here we have attempted to match loses with gains

- Age and Ageing                               + Journal of American Geriatrics Society
- Annals of Emergency Medicine         + Academic Emergency Medicine
- British Journal of Anaesthesia          + Anaesthesia
- Cancer Nursing
- Current Opinion in Rheumatology     + Arthritis & Rheumatology
- Journal of Rheumatology 
- Journal of Laryngology and Otology   + Clinical Otolaryngology
- Journal of the American College of Cardiology
- Manual Therapy

Some useful titles include
