Seeking input on journal subscription renewals
With the prospect of a possible shortfall of $1 million to the MU Libraries collection budget in FY2017, we are seeking input on some lower-use journals, particularly the titles in the bundles purchased through publishers Elsevier and Wiley.
Follow this link to provide your input on specific journal titles between now and April 4.
We are beginning with these bundles because:
- they consume a large portion of the library collections budget, amounting to about $2,000,000 annually
- similar to a “cable tv model”, these bundles contain many titles which were never selected for our library, (e.g. dentistry)
Also included are some high cost/low use journals from other publishers in a variety of disciplines.
Learn more about the campus-wide collections review process and the reasons for it.
