I'll collect here some ideas for Projects and Things To Do, as they occur to me.

Electronic Journals

• HighWire journals offer free full text access on a rolling basis, typically 6 or 12 months. We need to incorporate links to these titles, with inclusive dates, into our database of electronic access possibilities.
• The Access database that Terry Lewis set up to manage Science online subscriptions needs to be adapted and extended
• Bowdoin's Find E-journals is worth a look, and links to several other large indexes


Access Database Issues
 

• I'd like to build a desktop app that would let me enter items into a Collection --books, URLs, citations for electronic and paper journal articles, and so on. The Collection could be queried and used to supply minibibliographies for various specific purposes. It would also facilitate annotation in various forms, including linking of items to other similar resources. (pretty much done, 27/vi)


Information Access

•  Current state of the deployment and use of various tools (which started from a request by Barbara for a statement about the need for the archive of Web of Science). (this evolved into my Annual Report for the Science Library, submitted 13/viii)
