To contend with overall budgetary changes, Cornell University Library has decided to unbundle some of its “Big Deal” packages as well as streamline existing access to journals as a cost-savings effort and a way to secure sustainable access to online journals for the Cornell community. Currently, the Library is reviewing journal packages with Oxford University Press (OUP) and Elsevier; and are reducing the number of journals we access through Wiley and Taylor & Francis. All Cornell University campuses will be impacted by these changes, including Weill Cornell Medicine and Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar.
Cornell University Library will engage with constituents on the Cornell campuses throughout this process and continue providing the Cornell community access to scholarly resources in a cost-effective manner. For more information on what these changes mean for the Cornell community, visit the Online Journal Transition homepage.
