Serials Solutions, a business unit of the US-based ProQuest LLC, has announced enhancements to Magazines for Libraries (MFL) Update, the web-based service that delivers timely and informative reviews of serials resources. Magazines for Libraries is an annual print compilation of reviews written by subject specialists and has remained a library standard since 1969.
The periodic MFL Update moves from its email format to a permanent home on the Serials Solutions website, and is available via RSS feed. The company is now providing the service free to librarians everywhere, offering greater access to in-depth evaluations on critical journals and other periodicals and databases.
Magazines for Libraries reviews have been incorporated into Serials Solutions' Ulrichsweb service for several years, providing Ulrichsweb subscribers with access to the entire compilation of more than 7,000 MFL reviews along with bibliographic and availability details for each title. The free MFL Update offers any librarian the opportunity to sign up to receive new reviews and learn how to become a contributor.
The enhancement of Magazines for Libraries Update is part of Serials Solutions' ongoing commitment of providing unbiased, authoritative information to help librarians meet the objectives of their libraries and institutions.
