Library Collections: A Forum

With a major downturn in the California economic climate, accompanied by changes in campus research and curricular directions, all UC libraries are in the process of reviewing licensed electronic resources that carry ongoing subscription costs. Reductions to collections budgets across the UC system necessitate reductions in book, journal and database electronic expenditures. Within the next two years, UC libraries must reduce the overall expenditure for UC-wide licensed ejournal content by a significant amount. The General Library invites you, the UC Davis faculty, students and staff, to participate in the comment process which identifies licensed packages or journal titles that are less relevant or do not fulfill the expected critical needs of campus core academic and/or emerging programs. We encourage you to provide us with feedback about the addition or cancellation of content before final disposition decisions are made.
