WHY TEEAL?
Why TEEAL?- It is an ASSET
- Subscribers become owners of 200 journals worth $ 1 million
- NEW journals added every year
- Spans 17 years of content
- Full-text article PDFs from over 80 publishers
- Updated annually with new content
TEEAL’s relevance in an on-line world
- Internet time is still very costly and limited at many ACP institutions
- Subscription costs are high and library budgets are meager
- TEEAL offers ownership, not just access
- It is equal to 200 journals on a virtual shelf in the library and 100 more journals coming in 2011 and 2012
