From the Library Director (continued)

Two of our highest priorities when considering these cuts were to minimize the impact on library services and to try to preserve the collections (journals, databases, books, and audiovisuals) budget. We have added approximately 300 full-text journals in the past two years and need to add many more in order to make information more accessible not only for our on-campus users, but also for the AHECs and the growing number of distance education students enrolled at UAMS. We will do a comprehensive review of our journal holdings this year to determine which ones we can cancel and which new ones need to be added. We will be asking for input from UAMS personnel before making decisions concerning journal cancellations.
