C. Future Plans:
We want to have a way to easily access journal titles in a broad subject
area from VIRGO. We are planning to add broad subject categories in the
catalog record and from them create lists of journals in different fields.
Plans are to make these accessible under the Library Information button.
It would be the same principle as the New Book Lists.
