U of O to cancel thousands of library subscriptions - The Fulcrum

Summary:

"Horava said that in the spring of 2016, the university cancelled subscriptions to journals and databases that were of “low value” or duplicated by other resources. This year, however, these cancellations “will definitely have an impact on students and researchers.”

However, Horava notes that “There are alternatives out there,” such as open access books or interlibrary loan requests."
