Abstract

The experience of a multi-site higher education library consortium in purchasing electronic journals and databases is described. The criteria and guidelines developed to assist in the decision-making process for the purchase of multidisciplinary electronic products and services can be of value to other libraries whether in a single or consortial environment. Factors such as database features, coverage, search features, and delivery options were considered. © 1999, MCB UP Limited
