What ? (i)
• Full text databases– Content available simultaneously or preferably
before print (live)– Backfiles from 1995 minimum– Quality of the service, availability, search engine,
alert, usage statistics– Archiving, some times not available– Links with bibliographic databases– In the beginning is easy to choose
![Page 9: Access to eletronic journals: policies, strategies and programmes The Brazilian experience Luiz Valcov Loureiro, Director of Programs, Capes/MEC International](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f1c5503460f94c32f0e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What ? (ii)
• Reference and citation databases– Broad fields coverage as possible– Broad time period coverage as possible– Quality of the service, availability, search engine,
usage statistics– Links with full text databases– Some are obvious, others don´t, overlapping
![Page 10: Access to eletronic journals: policies, strategies and programmes The Brazilian experience Luiz Valcov Loureiro, Director of Programs, Capes/MEC International](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f1c5503460f94c32f0e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What ? (iii)
• It becomes a maze very quickly– The user browses the content that he or she is used
to read– Organize the content to bring to evidence all
publications in a certain field– Bring to evidence reference databases– Bring to evidence open access publications to
authorized and non-authorized users
