With the rapid expansion of the Internet, and associated growth of e-lists, the individual librarian is rightly perplexed as to how to cope. There is simply no way the individual can be expected to keep abreast of the seminal welter of information produced in all the different forms of media. So the next best thing is to find a source which will keep you up to date, on your terms. Hence the BUBL Information Service dons its Superman tights and leaps into Cyberspace, offering a free point of use service to belaboured information professionals. There are literally 1000s of journals aimed at catering for Library and Information Science and while you are always promising yourself to make time to read those in the office, you never quite find the time.
Help is at hand.
Section E2 of BUBL provides you with the Tables of Contents, and often the published abstracts of over 200 LIS oriented titles. Moreover, these files are held consecutively, creating a dataset of the material added. Section E1 of BUBL details the range of time currently embraced for each title. The material in section E2 is available for WAIS searching independently from the rest of the BUBL Database, so you can either search for individual terms or use Boolean operators to aid the specificy of your search. BUBL gratefully acknowledges the generosity of Mecklermedia, and the Hawarth Press Inc, for providing BUBL with free subscriptions to their journals from which we digitize their Tables of Contents.
