In Spring 2018, the library added the Kanopy Streaming Video collection. This allows access to over 30,000 titles, including documentaries, classic films, and foreign cinema. This is a patron-driven acquisitions collection, where the library pays for titles that are being repeatedly watched. This allows for a large amount of content to be provided for a reasonable cost.
Standing orders titles are series publications that come out on a regular basis, for which we get all or get every-other edition. We have changed two reference titles to every-other-year:
Alaska Business Directory
Governmental GAAP Guide for State and Local Governments
We also added two standing orders, for literary series that we hope will have enduring value:
Sun Tracks (located in the Cyril George Alaska Native Knowledge collection)
Best American Poetry
ProQuest Psychology Database
This database, brought to us by UAA/APU Consortium Library funding, was not retained for fiscal year 2018, due to flat budget and expanding database costs. Some of the journal articles covered in this database can still be found in other ProQuest databases, and sources like Academic Search Premier (EBSCO).
