OCLC Database/E-Resource Discontinuations
In an attempt to streamline the Library Collection budget, the Library Collection Development Team conducted a thorough analysis of our electronic resources. We analyzed the content and subjects covered by each resource, reviewed the usage statistics, full text coverage, price increases, alternative subject coverage in free or other Library subscription databases, and cost-per-use figures. After our in depth analysis it was sadly determined that the following database subscriptions will no longer be maintained. However, you will notice that we have a wealth of other resources that we invite you to explore.
