New UM Libraries Initiative Expands Electronic Access

Columbia, MO—The MU Libraries are pleased to announce that the students, faculty, and staff of all four University of Missouri campuses have full-text access to over 1,800 centrally-funded electronic journals, reference works, and databases. The electronic resources are the result of the University of Missouri Library Directors’ Electronic Resources Initiative, funded through the offices of President Elson Floyd, the four Campus Chancellors, and the UM Library Systems Office.

“We are excited about the addition of almost $1 million in new funding for electronic resources. We will be able to expand access to new resources and to increase the coverage of electronic journal subscriptions in cooperation with the other UM campuses,” said Jim Cogswell, Director of MU Libraries.

The electronic full-text journals, reference works, and abstracting resources funded by the University of Missouri President’s Innovation Fund are being activated as licenses and contracts are approved. Full availability of these resources is anticipated in March of 2005. MU students and faculty may access the databases from the MU Libraries Electronic Resources listing at http://library.missouri.edu/search/databases/all.asp.
