Changes to NOVELNY Databases
On Wednesday, April 1, we will no longer have access to Informe, Health Reference Center Academic and the General Science Collection. We received free access to these databases through the NOVELNY program sponsored by the New York State Library (NYSL). After their annual database review, NYSL no longer offers access to these resources. We will be evaluating options for adding new content from NOVELNY in the near future. If you have any questions, please contact Alesia McManus.
