Bowman Library met with the Faculty Senate yesterday to review the E-Resource Cancellation list which was proposed by the Library with advice from the Faculty Library Advisory Council to meet specific budget reduction targets. While the decisions were difficult and will involve future adjustments to curriculum, the Library must reduce its recurring operating expenditures by about 30%. The final list of cancellations is below.

Depending upon the resource and the publisher, access will discontinue some time in the next 18 months. Licenses will be cancelled now and final subscription invoices will be paid over the next few months to close out our contracts. Preliminary end dates are listed below. You can expect to see certain flags in the library's e-resource A-Z List over the next couple of weeks, with specifics about when access will end for each resource. We hope this is helpful as you plan your final projects and uses of these resources. While e-resources are the higher cost items that we must reduce to achieve the budget target, other areas of the library collections and services will also be affected. We will communicate about those in the future.

A reminder, Menlo funds cannot be used by any department to acquire books, journals, datasets, databases and other subscriptions. Please see the "Wish List" blog entry for how to suggest purchases or subscriptions in the future. Soon, instructions will be sent to campus leadership for a future funds transfer mechanism to support library acquisitions. 

If you or someone you know is interested in supporting the library collections, please consider donating to the library. Use the library giving page to learn about areas of need and to make a donation.
