Budget Reductions at Egan Library

Description of steps taken to reduce costs with a shrinking library budget.

Opposing Viewpoints in Context

After looking at the resource for a while, the library finally added the Gale database Opposing Viewpoints in Context, to replace the library's subscription to CQ Researcher. Both present current topics from multiple perspectives in a way that supports debate, introductory research, and critical thinking. Consulted faculty preferred Opposing Viewpoints in Context, which also provides access to a number of journal, report, and book titles available now in OneSearch or Journal Search.

Please note CQ Researcher is no longer available at UAS. 

List of Resources Cut

The library renews journals in the Fall. A number of titles are being reviewed for potential cuts, and librarians will be consulting with faculty about potential cuts.
