Bookmarking Electronic Resources

If you do want to keep your favorite e-journals in a bookmark file or on a personal web page, please edit the bookmark or web page to change the address (URL) to the one listed in the UMDNJ Librararies Catalog.  We ask that you take this extra step in order to help us count use of electronic journals.

When you go to an e-journal home page through the UMDNJ Libraries, you are going through an anonymous counter that can tell us how many times, by campus, a title is used.  When you bookmark an electronic journal home page directly and return again, we have no way of knowing how many times the journal is being used.  When the time comes to renew or, in the case of free trials, to decide whether or not to purchase online access, we need to know which e-journals are actually being used and how much.
