New Journal and E-book Archives from Taylor and Francis

The University Libraries regularly adds new digital content throughout the year. While some are targeted purchases, i.e. backfiles from a single journal title or a small ebook collection, other purchases are much larger in size and scope. Our recent acquisitions from Taylor and Francis fall into that later category. We’ve just added over 25,000 unlimited access ebooks, more than doubling our perpetual ownership of ebooks from them. These include titles from both their STEM and Humanities & Social Sciences collections. In addition we have added several more of their journal archives covering titles in the following subject areas. Purchases like this allow us to provide online access for the university community to important content that may have originally only been available in hard copy form.

Journal Archive Subject Package (Volume 1 to 2006)
Allied & Public Health
Clinical Psychiatry & Neuroscience
Criminology & Law
Mathematics & Statistics
Pharmaceutical Science & Toxicology
Sport, Leisure & Tourism
Sport Science & Medicine
Strategic, Defence & Security Studies

New Resources Acquired in FY24

New Resources Acquired in FY24

Collection Management works to build unique and dynamic collections of national significance to support all areas of scholarship at Virginia Tech. We regularly assess usage of our resources as we seek to maximize the value of our subscriptions and reflect emerging areas of research at the university. Through prudent management of our budget and data analysis we replace low-use subscriptions with new and requested resources. And, we purchase journal archives and e-book collections with one-time funds or end-of-year money. We do all this to improve access and expand the breadth and depth of the collection, and to save space by replacing and supplementing print resources with online.

New Resources Acquired in FY22

Collection Management works to build unique and dynamic collections of national significance to support all areas of scholarship at Virginia Tech. We regularly assess usage and impact of our resources as we seek to maximize the value of our subscriptions and reflect emerging areas of research at the university.

 We were able to bring many of our existing resources fully up to date as well as add a wide range of new resources. In addition to specialized resources, we added several interdisciplinary ones such as the New York Times, Policy Commons, and Statista. We began to explore new models of acquiring ebooks by adding a large Evidence Based Acquisition package from JSTOR. We also prioritized resources that support online access, diversify our collections, and open access initiatives. Below is a list of the new resources acquired in FY22.

New Resources purchased in FY17

Collection additions in FY17

Collection Management works to build unique and dynamic collections of national significance to support all areas of scholarship at Virginia Tech. We regularly assess usage of our resources as we seek to maximize the value of our subscriptions and reflect emerging areas of research at the university. Through prudent management of our budget we replace declining resources with new and requested resources. And, with one-time or end-of-year money we purchase archives to fill-in collection gaps. We do this to improve access and expand the breadth and depth of the collection, and to save space by replacing and supplementing print resources with online.  During the 2017 fiscal year, Collection Management added over 100 new e-resources to the collection, review the list of linked titles below to explore.
