Abstract :
[en] In June 2014, the SFX® MISCELLANEOUS_FREE_EJOURNALS target contained more than 24,000 portfolios of all kinds. The SFX Knowledge Base Advisory Board (KBAB) decided to carry out an international survey to get an overview of the usage that is done of this target by the SFX community and to precisely identify what could be done to improve it. The target is widely used among the community. However, many respondents complained about these top three problems: (1) Incorrect parse params (broken links); (2) Full texts actually not free; (3) Incorrect or missing thresholds.
