DEFF- ejournals project (2004-2005)

• DEFF = Danish Electronic Research Library

• Project focus on small offline scholarly journals

• 2 pilot journals (CJAS and MatScan)• Experience: starting with OA and online publishing is a

• ...and realizing the goods of online visibility!

• Conclusions: - know-how and realistic needs should be considered well before choosing a system.- University libraries can help facilitate the transfer.
