Electronic Resources Revies - a New E Journal

[Achim Osswald <Achim.Osswald _at__ Uni-Koeln.DE>]

Hallo,
nachfolgend der Hinweis auf eine neue elektronische Rezensionszeitschrift
ueber Digitale Medien (auf Datentraegern und im Netz), die insbesondere fuer
die Zielgruppe wissenschaftliche und Spezial-Bibliotheken relevant sind
(bzw. sein sollen).

Die 1. Ausgabe (im PDF-Format) kann  noch entgeltfrei bezogen werden. Die 11
Rezensionen konzentrieren sich auf Produkte, die vermutlich vorzugsweise aus
US- und UK-Perspektive interessant sind. 

IMHO sind die meisten von uns derzeit mit "Informationsmittel fuer
Bibliotheken" und den diversen Besprechungsrubriken in bibliothekarischen
Zeitschriften wie z.B. "Digitale Medien" in ZfBB besser bedient.

Freundliche Gruesse von 

Achim Osswald

>WHY ELECTRONIC RESOURCES REVIEW?
>
>The emergence of the Internet as a medium for publishing presents a
>paradigm shift for librarians and publishers alike - a shift that cannot be
>ignored, but must be harnessed and its benefits transferred to the reader.
>ELECTRONIC RESOURCES REVIEW helps this transition. The journal acts as a
>medium for librarians to find reviews of CD-ROMS, electronic journals and
>other electronic resources relevant to their collections.  It will help you
>identify, evaluate and select titles to add to your collection - and
>specifically highlight those attributes that make individual electronic
>resources appropriate for library use.
>
>
>JOURNAL CONTENT
>
>Reviews are written by librarians and content comprises of five core
>elements that are considered for each product:
>
>Installation    -      Concerns all aspects covering the installation of
>                       the product, e.g. disk space.
>
>Content         -      Is a product description, it concerns product
>                       suitability for intended audience, how
>                        comprehensive it is.
>

>Navigability           concerning how easy they are to move around.
