Journal Exchange Initiative
Dear fellow professionals,
Greeting from Assam Don Bosco University!!!
Journal price inflation rates have exceeded library budget increases in recent years and the trends of open access/sources.,etc, thus resulting in the need to cut down print journal subscriptions at many libraries, exchanging print journals were a logical steps. In this regards, A proposal of our one copy was to be dispatch to selected institution in exchange for one of their institutional journals so that faculty and students can benefits from these exchanged partners.
Our Library wanted to undertake this activity in order of the following points :
- To stretch budget rupees and “get more for less,” enhancing their collections at the least cost.
- In some instances, these programs also are seen as having the potential to increase the number of library user. journals exchange programs are one example of this type of activity.
- The exchange is viewed as a cost‐effective mechanism for acquiring relevant issues of journal titles.
- Increases the visibility of institutional journals.
- Our Libraries will offer our institutional journals to exchange partners who agreed to receive journal issues they may be lacking.
- Money does not change hands, and all participants appear to benefit. On the surface, this activity appears to be a cost‐free mechanism for swapping excess materials for needed ones.
- However, a shipping cost of exchange journals has to be borne by both respective Institutions.
N/B : Ours is a peer-reviewed international journal devoted to social, philosophical and religious underpinning of the North-East region and we favour to exhange to institutional journals that are similar in nature & contents.
Feel free to write to me at chanlang.bareh@dbuniversity.ac.in
