Shalom Safranim Do your libraries subscribe to the Online version of the Index to Jewish Periodicals? We have been buying the CD Rom version that is not as convenient as having it online, but is about $500 cheaper. Besides the convenience factor of being able to access it from the departments, instead of coming in to the library to use it, and the fact that it is updated twice a year, instead of once a year as they do with the CD Rom, what is the argument for subscribing to the online version? The major journals are in any case included in the large fulltext databases such as Academic Premier, part of Ebsco, etc.
I need to make a case to subscribe, can you give me some ammunition, or would it just be an unnecessary luxury?
