Update on Library's Journal Cancellation Review

12-Oct-2009

On August 17, 2009 the Library began a Journal Cancellation Review. The project had three purposes:

1. Fund the purchase of new journals that will support new interdisciplinary initiatives or major research/teaching programs that have been re-focused
2. Offset the cost of "unfunded" inflation
3. Identify resources for potential mid-year or FY11 budget reductions

The period for public comments on the Journal Cancellation Review project ended on October 9, 2009. Thank you for your input. We are reviewing and considering the feedback that was submitted. The University Library will post the final list of cancelled titles after November 15, 2009.

Once we are informed about potential mid-year budget reversions we will make decisions about reallocation of funds for the purchase of new titles that have been requested.

If you have any questions, please contact Karen Lawson, Associate Dean for Collections & Technical Services.
