Changes to McArdle Library Journal Subscriptions 2015

The Lancet

Message From NICE Evidence:


NICE and Elsevier have announced that access to The Lancet (electronic) will continue to be made available for a further 12 months (1 January 2015 – 31 December 2015). In order to secure equitable access to The Lancet we have had to negotiate the removal of access to the print version of the journal. You will no longer receive a print copy of The Lancet from 1 January 2015.



Nursing Standard



Unfortunately due to a substantial price increase the subscription to Nursing Standard has been cancelled from 1 January 2015. Please note that table of contents for this journal and other RCN published journals (including abstracts) are available from the RCN publishing website . The library can obtain full text articles via our inter-library loan service if required.

Consultation

The Trust Library & Knowledge Service is currently undertaking its annual review of subscription sources to ensure that we have access to the most appropriate titles, across a wide range of subjects, for Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

We subscribe to 100s of journals, either print or electronic. You can check which titles we have by consulting our print journal lists or by looking at the electronic titles via the Journals link on NICE Evidence Search. Please note you will need an NHS Athens account to access the full list of titles available to you.

Alternatively, please get in touch with us and we can send you a list of the journals available in your subject area.

If you have any comments about the range of titles available, or feel that there are any key journals missing, please let us know by Friday 1st November 2013. While we welcome any suggestions you may have for new titles, the final decision will be based on cost, ease of access and coverage of subjects.

We look forward to receiving your comments and suggestions.
