Expanded Group E-Journal Subscription Brings Access to Thousands

by Susan Barnes, Resource Sharing Coordinator
NN/LM PNR

Here in the Pacific Northwest, more than fifty thousand health professionals and hospital staff-plus students and faculty in health programs-are now able to use the online full text of more than 225 electronic journals, through a group subscription by almost fifty institutions to the Lippincott Williams and Wilkins Total Access Package from Ovid. This is an expansion of the group subscription that twenty-three institutions have had for the past two years to a smaller package of full-text electronic journals from Ovid (see "Pacific Northwest Libraries Join Together for E-Journal Access" in Dragonfly, Fall 2001 ).

Participants in this group subscription range from some of the largest hospitals in urban western Washington and western Oregon to small rural hospitals in Idaho and Montana, and a regional health authority in British Columbia. Academic and research institutions from Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington form another important sector of the group.

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins and Ovid are both part of Wolters Kluwer, a multinational information services company that spans the fields of law, business, health, science, and education. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins is a major publisher of print and electronic biomedical publications, and Ovid is an information-retrieval vendor that provides access to bibliographic databases, full-text publications, and decision-support tools.
