Libraries and Electronic Content

Libraries subscribe to electronic content in a number of different ways. Some publishers offer packages that include many electronic journals, some products may include electronic journals from many different publishers, and libraries acquire some electronic journals individually. Abstracting-and-indexing products include citations to articles in journals from many different publishers. And since not everything is in electronic form, print resources cannot be neglected.
