1. George Meerburg Universiteit of Amsterdam Science Library Universiteit of Amsterdam http://www.uba.uva.nl With assistance of Joke Hendriks & Bert Gazendam Analysing Primo journal coverage as a tool for optimising our information resources collection

2. Motivation 2013: survey on Primo / CataloguePlus usage Questions:  What is indexed by Primo / CataloguePlus?  Are there alternatives to our existing mix of information resources?  Possible to match new databases with what is already covered?  Reduce the number of databases? Goal:  Improve coverage either by Primo / CataloguePlus or any combination of alternative bibliographical databases IGeLU, Oxford 2014

3. Database usage IGeLU, Oxford 2014 Communication & Mass Media Complete Academic Search Premier EconLit

4. Science Library I work as information specialist not at the library systems department.

5. Looking out on primo? Equinix Plant AMS 3 is right in sight of our Library. Primo a large Black Box

6. Collection UvA is a large general research university 30.000 students and 5.000 employees Collection budget 2014€ several millions Journals (incl. publ. portals)75 % Bibliographical databases (excl. Primo)€ 500.000

7. Primary goal of a LIS: bring our customers to the journals in our collection in an easy way IGeLU, Oxford 2014

8. A good advice? Of course there is Google Scholar, but… For real research you should use a number of scholarly databases… IGeLU, Oxford 2014

27. Conclusions This way of looking at our collection will play a role in future decisions about new databases It might be more useful to acquire journal content, instead of additional bibliographical databases. Primo should get more attention in our library skills courses as a one stop tool to get to our journal subscriptions. Ulrich’s Journal Data is a great framework to map all kind of journal information onto. If possible, efforts must be made to supplement Primo with databases and publishers not yet indexed.
