With the move to increased online courses, and the need for increased access to the titles that support our programs, librarians have sought out licensing agreements with a number of ebook platforms that we had not previously used. At this time the library is making individual selections of titles. The platforms include:
Cambridge University Press
Oxford University Press
ProjectMuse
ScienceDirect
Taylor & Francis
The library purchased a small ebook collection through Taylor & Francis, of Social Science and Business titles. All titles purchased can be found in the library catalog. For more on these providers, including links and searching info, check out our ebooks guide:
In addition, thanks to UAF multiple recent years worth of titles in the Biological and Life Sciences, as well as the Earth and Environmental Sciences, were made available to us on the Springer platform. These titles are also in the library catalog.
Journals Added in FY 2021
Note: in an effort to not have there only be cuts, and to match changes and focuses in UAS programs, the following resources have been added as new subscriptions. All are expected to start in January 2020.
Journal of Faculty Development
Databases Added in FY 2021
In FY 2021, the UA-wide subscription to the ProQuest Education Databases was ceased. After reviewing the two, UAS added Education Source from Ebsco to replace this resource, and to support the Alaska College of Education.
After Kanopy's most heavily used year at UAS yet, we were able to secure some of the Federal funding to maintain this resource through the fiscal year. We anticipate that current use is above and beyond normal use, due to the expanded online courses and increased student use over winter break.
Journals Cut in FY 2021 for Budget Purposes
Note: our current subscription to these titles should end in December 2020. Many titles are still available in databases, check Journal Titles for available database coverage:
