Subscription Acquisitions

• The Journal Transfer Notification Database. This database allows librarians and other interested parties to search for details of journal transfers announced through the Enhanced Transfer Alerting Service and acts as an archive of transfer information supplied by publishers using the service. Searches can be by title, keyword, or ISSN.
• The Transfer Notification List:  Librarians, information professionals and any other organisations with an interest in journal transfers are encouraged to sign up to the list. Every time a journal transfer is announced using the Enhanced Transfer Alerting Service, registrants on the Transfer Notification List receive e-mail alerts detailing the journal(s) involved, bibliographic information, and contact details for the publishers involved.  Sign up to the email list.
• The Journal Transfer Notification Form. This form is a simple way for publishers to communicate journal transfer information. Under the terms of the Code, endorsing publishers are requested to use the service whenever they receive a new journal. Log-in details are required to use the form, and these are supplied to any publisher that endorses the Transfer Code.
• The Transfer Notification Blog. This blog page stores information from publishers about previous journal transfers, and acts as an archive of transfer information supplied by publishers using the service.

Hello:

Following up on this conversation a few months back, for anyone interested to learn more about Transfer and the Transfer Alerting Service, NISO hosted a webinar last Friday on these topics. 

Jennifer Bazeley (Interim Head, Technical Services at Miami University, OH) and I gave an overview of the Transfer Code of Practice, its history and purpose, results of surveys on the Code and the TAS, and a discussion of how librarians can incorporate Transfer tools into their existing e-journals workflows.

The (free!) recording and slides can be found at the link above.

Best,

Elizabeth (Co-Chair, NISO Transfer Standing Committee)
