Hello Colleagues,

I am investigating alternative online products to replace our print leisure periodical collection in our small, primarily undergraduate-serving library, and are interested in any experiences other academic libraries in particular have had with resources like Flipster, Magzter, Zinio, or other online leisure periodical services.

Has your library provided a resource like this, and if so, what has been your experience? Is there anything in particular you wish you knew when first establishing this sort of access? I’m happy to summarize off-list responses should this be of wider interest.  

Thanks,

Betsy
