A manual current awareness service at the University of Aston

Abstract

A manual current awareness service, based on abstracting and indexing journals, and serving ten groups of staff and research students at the University of Aston Library, is described. The service is evaluated in the light of client reaction and feedback obtained from the request service. The relation of the service to other library activities, and possible future developments are discussed. Two sample profiles are given in an appendix.
