Notice to Academic Departments on Subscription Savings

March 2024

In the spirit of transparency, we wanted to let you know that due to the difficult financial situation that the University is in we are undertaking a review of our annual subscriptions. This includes print and electronic journals, databases and memberships.

As savings must be made, some subscriptions will not be renewed. We will base these decisions on a thorough evaluation of usage data, use within the curriculum and potential value to research.

Our aim is to minimise any potential impact and inconvenience, alongside carefully scrutinising the value for money of each of our subscriptions.

A list of subscriptions that have not been renewed will be available via the library website in due course, and an indicator Resource update iconplaced on the A-to-Z list, with information about the date on which access to the resource ends.

If resources that you use are affected by this, and you would like help with finding alternative resources available from the library, please contact your Academic Subject Librarian.

 

Requesting books and journals for purchase

Due to the difficult financial situation that the University is in, there is currently no capacity to purchase new resources. It is recommended you search the library website for print and electronic resources to add to reading lists. Reading lists will be used to inform purchasing decisions when funds become available.

If you would like help finding alternative resources available from the library or open access, please contact your Academic Subject Librarian.
