Sciences Libraries Restructuring: Background and Comments

October 19th, 2009 by Rebecca Davis

We invite the UC Davis community of faculty, staff, and students to send comments regarding the sciences libraries restructuring efforts. A web site: Sciences Libraries Restructuring (http://www.lib.ucdavis.edu/ul/about/inside/restructuring/), presents background information regarding what has occurred thus far, including answers to Recently Received Questions, and areas for which we welcome comments and suggestions to be used as part of the decision-making process for library collections and services.

These are challenging times for all of us. The UC Davis General Library employees rely heavily on input from the faculty, staff, and students to acquire/license collections and to design services that will meet the research, teaching, patient care, and community service goals of the campus.

Library Collections: A Forum

June 15th, 2009 by Admin

The General Library invites UC Davis faculty, students and staff to participate in the review of resources being considered for addition or cancellation. We seek comments on these databases and other resources with ongoing subscription costs before final disposition decisions are made. With changes in campus research and curricular directions, accompanied by a major downturn in the economic climate, it is prudent to review our licensed resources and identify titles that are no longer relevant or that do not fulfill the expected critical needs of core academic disciplines and emerging programs.

For more information and details about the Library Collections: A Forum web site and about the review process, please see the More Details page. If you have questions or comments regarding this web site, please contact: Gail Yokote, AUL for Collections (gyokote@ucdavis.edu).
