Hello everyone!
My name is Celia Jenkins and I am the newest member of the SUNCAT team (having started here in October). My post is 'Bibliographic Assistant', assisting Moira Whitson with the processing of Contributing Libraries' updates and checking data conversions. I am now getting the hang of the data checking (using UNIX - which is a first for me), and am enjoying being part of the great SUNCAT service!
Before this post I was an Information Officer at the Scottish Library and Information Council (SLIC), working on the website and various electronic services, such as SCONE, CAIRNS and SLIR (see http://www.slainte.org.uk).
Before SLIC I was a Research Assistant at Loughborough University, working on the JISC 'Partnering on Copyright' programme - looking at copyright issues with regards to Open Access and digital repositories. I have always had an interest in electronic resources, so it is great to be able to work with the SUNCAT team.
SUNCAT has been updated. Updates from the following libraries were loaded into the catalogue in the past 2 weeks. The dates displayed indicate when the files were received by SUNCAT.
SUNCAT contains the serials' holdings of 67 UK research libraries, plus the CONSER database, the ISSN register and has recently added the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). The DOAJ is a comprehensive directory of scholarly open access journals, containing over 3700 titles. All journals included in the DOAJ are freely available and contain full text peer reviewed articles aimed primarily at researchers.
The addition of the DOAJ to the catalogue ensures that these free titles are made visible and accessible to SUNCAT searchers alongside any subscription electronic journals they have access to. SUNCAT searchers can find these titles interspersed in their search results or can choose to limit their search to these titles alone.
