ABSTRACT

Despite the rapid adoption of electronic journals, the need for print journals still remains. The current level of foreign journals acquisition poses a threat to strengthening the national research capabilities. Furthermore, there is too much overlap among academic libraries for foreign journals. We propose the establishment of government funded foreign research information centers to systematically acquire and distribute foreign print journals. We discuss specific approaches to selecting and operating such centers. Foreign research information centers are expected to enhance the national scholarly information infrastructure as well as the academic libraries' core capabilities.
