Now overcome barriers to use of online journals in FE
EBSCO, Emerald and InfoTrac are wonderful resources
BUT can be too academic for some users
We need an interface that is more level appropriate
Vocational journals that are categorised by the vocational subject taught in FE
With more colour and “pictures on the cover”
Intered - getting plenty of use by both students and staff
272 full text retrievals in March aloneThe trend is that access is going up month on month
4 times the use of InfoTrac
Every journal/magazine has had some use withEarly Years Educator (EYE) having the most
Second in popularity is Practical Pre-School
