DFE Journals Access Requirement

The Department requires the provision of a range of electronic academic and scientific journal collections covering the department's policy interests. This should act as a 'one stop shop' for the Department's journal access requirements. The core content offering should be:

• Accessible to multiple users concurrently, but allowing for growth in usage.
• Academic scientific evidence only.
• Integrated electronic access to other, specific journals where needed and where not covered by the core offering.
• Integrated electronic open access content.
• Policy-relevant research content relevant to all DfE policy areas including early years, schools, further education, higher education and children's services.
• A high level of full-text access.
• UK and international English-language evidence.
• Management data on usage including search terms.
• It should be possible to click a link, and be taken straight to a specific search in the portal without having to log on
