Work continues to review proposed resources and select a new collection of statewide databases, albeit in a newly online environment.
Work continues to review proposed resources and select a new collection of statewide databases, albeit in a newly online environment. Thanks to the library community for your input on proposed e-resources and the 842 responses we received to the Community Feedback Survey. Thanks to the Shared E-Resources Task Force for their resilience and flexibility as our project plan has changed over the last few weeks, and for their prioritization of service to the community in continuing this process. And thanks to the Minitex project team for their ongoing dedication and support.
We’re in a period of restricted communication but will share more when we can. With a flat budget and increasing e-resource costs, we’re anticipating difficult decisions ahead, but feel well-informed and supported by our shared library community.
