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
