Following Library Committee meeting today we are now in a position to confirm the subscriptions that will be cancelled in this year’s review.

In the first list Access and Collections proposed for review there were 87 titles.  Following consultation with subject librarians in the first phase we reduced this list to 71 titles.  Following two rounds of consultation with the LLOs, Information Resources Advisory Group (IRAG) and Library Committee, the final list contains 45 titles.

Some other notes

• We are retaining the two read and publish agreements that we reviewed (Oxford and the Royal Society)
• We continue to discuss with Economics and Finance regarding their database requirements with final decisions yet to be made
• Access and Collections will now finalise the renewals that will be going back to EBSCO
• New recommendations … there is still a chance to put these through before IRAG meets next Wednesday (so you need to be quick).  IRAG will then agree the priority for new subs.

I will send this information out to the LLOs as well confirming the outcome.
