"The library is looking at a proposal from EBSCO that would involve adding these databases while eliminating some others from ProQuest and Wilson. There’s a good chance that we’ll be reconfiguring our overall menu of databases for next year, so your feedback about these trial databases is important and welcomed," said Brent Short, Director of Library Services.
