To lower expenses, we are reducing the number of books purchased, and canceling those journals and databases which have a low overall usage or a high cost per use ratio. The librarians and staff of the UNO Libraries make decisions about cuts and cancellations based on a variety of factors. These include cost per use analysis (CPU), pricing models, licensing terms, inflation rates, faculty, student, and staff input, overlapping coverage from other sources, accreditation requirements, and availability of content through other means. In cases where we are unable to purchase a book or journal subscription, we will continue to strive to meet your teaching, research, and service needs through interlibrary loan and document delivery services.

Fortunately, in the past several years, we have been able to provide access to major research publishers, such as Elsevier, through shared purchases with the University of Nebraska Consortium of Libraries (UNCL). At this time, those major journal and e-book packages are still provided by our combined funds and license agreements with UNCL. In the coming weeks and months, you may receive a message from your department’s library subject specialist or liaison regarding changes to our monograph collection, journal packages, and database availability. We will also keep the campus community up-to-date on collection changes through this webpage. Please know that we take these reductions seriously and we aim to protect, as much as possible, core resources for students, faculty, and staff.

Thank you for your understanding and please feel free to contact Dave Richards, Dean of Library Services, or your subject specialist if you have any questions.
