Databases and Serials for Non-Renewal

Thank you to all who provided feedback on the most recent electronic resources review project. We appreciate your feedback and carefully considered each comment in our decision-making process. In addition to your feedback, we identified these items by analyzing usage statistics, cost of subscription and yearly increases, cost-per-use, and use in curriculum or ongoing research programs.

Access will be reduced or not renewed this year for the materials in the searchable database below. Individual prices are not displayed due to contract restrictions.

Many of these titles are available through alternative means, including our interlibrary loan service. We encourage you to reach out to your library specialist to learn more. If you have questions about the materials listed here or would like to talk with a librarian about content in your area or discipline, please refer to the appropriate content development librarian below.

Collections costs and employee salaries comprise approximately 90% of the Libraries budget. In the face of budget reductions and callbacks, collections non-renewals account for 55% of the Libraries’ cuts. Nearly all of the remainder comes through salary savings accrued through leaving positions vacant.
