Description:
The FAU Libraries are requesting
$55,890 to purchase the Springer journal Archives: Earth and Environmental Science. These Springer archives consist
of access to academic journals, with coverage from as early as 1832 through the
last issue of 1996.
The FAU Libraries
currently subscribe to the Springer journals package, which provides access to
over 1,800 current Springer journals, with coverage from 1997 to present. Springer journals are well used: over 31,000
articles were accessed by FAU students and faculty in fiscal year 2014-15.
Springer, a leading
global scientific and medical publisher, has been publishing for over 170
years. A total of 1,595 Springer
journals were listed in the 2015 Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports®
(JCR), a recognized authority for evaluating journals.
Springer Electronic Journal
Archives are delivered online and are available 24/7. If purchased, the content will be accessible
to all students, whether on campus, via IP authentication, or off campus via
EZproxy remote authentication. The
journals and articles in the collections will be easy to discover through the
library catalog; the library search engine, SearchWiSE; the electronic journal
listings page; librarian-created research guides; and various subject databases.
Target student population to be served by the project
The content aligns with FAU’s course offerings in
Geosciences (Geology and Geography), Ocean Engineering, and Environmental
Science. In the 2013-2014 school year,
15,356 state-fundable credit hours were taken in Geosciences
(http://iea.fau.edu/Reports/productivity.aspx), 10,908 of which were from
lower-division courses.
Benefit to Student Learning
The Earth and
Environmental Science collection contains many scholarly resources that
lead their prospective fields. The
content included in this collection will directly support student learning by
providing material for course papers, projects, and study.
Environmental Sciences is one of the four pillars described
in Florida Atlantic University’s strategic plan. These pillars represent the University’s most
promising programs.
We anticipate providing access to the Springer journal
Archives: Earth and Environmental Science
collection as soon as funds are available.
The requested amount will cover the one-time purchase of
these subject collections. The Libraries would own the collections in
perpetuity, and no access fees would be charged. Should the Libraries consider
purchasing additional subject collections, it would use funding from its
general materials budget.
This resource does not require any physical space. Springer
journals are online and would be available through the FAU Libraries on the
SpringerLink platform.
