Geoscientist 22.01 February 2012
Edmund Nickless writes: In 2010, Council asked a group led by former President Peter Styles to conduct a review1 of the Society’s library collections and services. Geoscientist 21.05 (June 2011) published an update on how the review's recommendations were being carried forward.
In line with these, Council agreed to reduce library net costs by £35k in 2012 through new income and savings. The Library Advisory Committee identified journals for cancellation based on criteria agreed by Council (including low usage and high cost-per-usage). Candidates were reviewed by the Information Management Committee and their cancellation has now been approved. They are:
Bulletin d’information des geologues du bassin de Paris; Contributions to mineralogy & petrology; Coral reefs; Geodinamica acta; Journal of seismic exploration; Mathematical geosciences; Near surface geophysics; Surveys in geophysics and Palaeontographica Abt. B: Palaophytologie.
