VIVA Database Changes

by edlener, posted on July 24, 2015

VIVA is making several important changes to its mix of databases. These are based in large part on the result of a recent RFP process.  Some content is merely switching platforms while other changes may have more impact.  Where necessary we are adding local subscriptions to replace heavily used resources.

Being Added – CINAHL full text, EconLit Full Text, Political Science Complete, and SocIndex. All of these are from EBSCO and are now active on our web site.

Cancellations with effective dates – EconLit via Proquest (8/1/15), PAIS (8/1/15), OVID Total Access LWW Collection (8/31/15), ProQuest Congressional (9/30/15), and Sociological Abstracts (12/31/15).

    Collections is picking up subscriptions to about 20 LWW titles with highest use. Those subscriptions will go into effect September 1, 2015. Patrons will need to request articles from ILL for any journals not subscribed.
