Abstract:

Journals Online News (J.O.N.), a world wide web site created and maintained by the Collection Development Team at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville Libraries, informs university faculty, library selectors, and interested students and staff about journals cancellation/review information. Like libraries everywhere, the UTK Libraries are grappling with the serials crisis in academic publishing. In order to involve the faculty in serials management decisions, we decided to take advantage of a unique quality of the Internet--interactive communication. Using the Internet, we can provide the most up-to-date information quickly to a wide audience, and they can respond just as quickly and easily. Thus we eliminate confusion, reduce paper and mailing costs, save time, and enhance communication between the Libraries and our users.
