Abstract

This work aims to characterize the coexistence of two formats (print and electronic) at the same area of current scientific journals in the FIOCRUZ Library of Biomedical Sciences, analyzing the use of these journals over the period 2009 to 2010. Besides knowing issues that underlies the acquisition process and the formats of the library’s journals, we attempted to identify editors’ policies concerning to the material contents, the allowed access period to online collections and the right of access and digital preservation. In conclusion we present some considerations regarding to the maintenance of libraries’ collections considering the growing number of electronic journals.
