We’ve invested in a little digital photo frame which we’re now using to display a slideshow of the ‘top 30′ electronic journals for food manufacturing and agriculture.
(Image: our new digital photo frame in situ!)
Each slide displays essential information about one e-journal title – its publication details, a copy of the cover of the most recent issue, and the details of the University of Lincoln’s full-text online access to that e-journal.
