We are only just starting out with the Tokens in 2011. As part of our switch to the EAL license, we will receive 250 free tokens. This will be our first experience with tokens, so we aren't sure how best to utilize them. Most likely, we will have our ILL department use them for any internal requests for materials that we do not have subscriptions.

We started early this year, and it has taken off like a bullet. We had a rocky start on Wiley’s end with getting it up and running, but now that the new web site problems are resolved, it works well on its own. Our access is unmediated, and the potential cost savings is huge. We plan to cancel most subscriptions in 2011 in favor of Article Select.

Subject: [SERIALST] Wiley Article Select Tokens

Our library is considering trying Article Select tokens from Wiley. I would appreciate comments from libraries that have used this program within the past year. What are the advantages or disadvantages from your perspective? Are there any “surprise” problems? Is the delivery time satisfactory? What is the library patron reaction to this type of access?

Thank you for any insight you may offer. Marianne Simmons
