Changes to Electronic Resources
The SUNYConnect Advisory Council is thrilled to present new resources to the SUNY community. Beginning July 1, 2006 the following new full-text resources will be available to all SUNYConnect participants:
• Academic Search Premier
• Business Source Premier
• Education Research Complete (available in fall of 2006)
• CINAHL Plus with Full Text
• CINAHL Select
• MasterFILE Premier
• Regional Business News
The SUNYConnect E-Resources collection will no longer include:
• AccuNet/AP Multimedia Archive
• Infotrac Onefile
• Expanded Academic ASAP
• Investext Plus
The Binghamton University Libraries have taken this opportunity to weigh the continuation of other databases that duplicate content offered by the SUNYConnect resources in order to further expand the breadth of coverage offered to the campus community. The following databases will no longer be offered beginning July 31, 2006:
• ProQuest Research Library
• ProQuest ABI Inform
• ProQuest National Newspapers
The Libraries will continue to evaluate information needs covered by these databases which are not included in the new suite of SUNYConnect E-Resources collection in order to maintain the high level of content and services that our faculty and students have come to depend on. The Libraries are committed to offering the widest range of databases and information resources for the research and curricular needs of the campus community.

Changes Coming to the Science Library
The first floor of the Science Library is being renovated to provide a more pleasant environment for research and study and to increase the seating for computers. The ground floor study room is also being refurbished and additional, more flexible seating will be provided. This week furniture and shelving will be removed to clear the space for the new carpeting and furniture. The week of June 19, the first floor reference/computer area and ground floor study room will be re-carpeted. The new computer furniture and study room furniture will be installed the week of June 26. During these few weeks, the reference collection and ground floor study room will be temporarily unavailable. If you need a reference item, please stop by the Science Library Information Services Desk. We plan to have public computers available for use during the renovations.
The next phase of renovations will begin on July 24 when the skylight roof will be replaced and then new carpet and furniture will be installed in the area underneath the new skylight roof. We hope the renovations will be completed by September 6.
If you have any questions, please contact Alesia McManus x74122 or Nancy Abashian x72528.
