Room to Breathe: Maximizing Library Resources on a Budget
Academic and special libraries have a mission to offer high-quality, current, and peer-reviewed scholarship to their users, but the rising cost of academic subscriptions pared with tightening budgets can strain even the most generous e-resource budget. How do you decide what to spend your limited funding on, especially in light of recent challenges to federal grant funding?
Join us for this free webinar as we explore practical, cost-effective, and user-friendly ways to reach your goals and provide quality, peer-reviewed resources to your users.
Together, we will:
- Look at trends in the academic publishing and how grant funding has affected the research landscape
