Journal circulation, with respect to 3rd and 4th Laws of Library Science
Dear LIS Professionals,
As we know in today's throat cut Competitive era people do not have enough time to come to the library for access of the library resources (here I am talking about print resources). To fulfill the implication of 3rd law of library science i.e. every book its reader and 4th law i.e. save the time of reader.
I am planning to implement the practice of time bound circulating of current print journals to specific group of people, so that after reading the issue they will forward the same to the next available person, and finally the last person receiving the issue will submit it in the library for the open use and archive.
Is there any library following the practice like this?
Share your idea and thoughts supporting the concept.
I am also planning to attach a log paper on the cover of the journal for easy circulation and tracking, format of the same is given below.
Please review the log format and provide your opinion.
Thanking you all,
With regards
Ram

Journal Circulation is a good idea of olden days. I don't know how many journals you get. The practice is first ask the members of faculty which journals they like to see. If possible send contents pages either scanned or through a link to e-journal on internet.
Only problem of circulating journals is people are always busy, if they are interested on a particular article then the journal stays with them until they read it, which may not happen soon. In house circulation of contents pages which can stay with them would be safer.

Thank you Sir for your opinion, there is cyclic change observed in the trends and practices of all the professions, definitely all the journals can not be circulated in this way, my concern here is very core journal to circulate to specific group in higher management.
As for as circulation of content page is concern, we are following the same as stated by you, often it is observed that the content page does not cover whole information that is contained by the that particular issue of the journal. According to my experience there must be some time line to read the issue, otherwise others will miss the chance to read it.
