Back to Collection Development Policy | BHL FAQ

BHL staff distributed across our member libraries work collaboratively to curate the content that will become part of the BHL collection prior to scanning. It is not always possible, however, to anticipate how the content will appear online after digitization has been completed. Especially when multiple libraries are called upon to fulfill the scanning of the complete run of a journal title, various problems may occur as a result such as 1) differing volume metadata 2) volumes occurring out of sequence and 3) different volumes of the same title occurring under two different records, or "hits," in the collection.

We rely on our users to help us identify problems in the BHL collection. Should you come across an issue in your use of the BHL, please let us know. We especially encourage you to send feedback regarding:
 * 1) unnecessary or out of scope items; these will be reviewed by the BHL Collections Committee for possible removal.
 * 2) excessive duplication of content
 * 3) volumes occurring out of sequence
 * 4) difficulty searching the BHL collection for a given title, author, or taxonomic name

If you find an error or a problem with the content in BHL, please do not hesitate to notify us by filling out our feedback form: []. Any and all feedback is welcome!
