Late in the fiscal year, the Library reviews ‘wish list’ requests, and makes decisions based on available funds, relevance to student assignments, and faculty teaching & research. A one-time purchase is preferred, even though it may require an annual service fee.
In Spring 2017, purchases included Caribbean Studies in Video: the Banyan Archive and the Digital National Security Archive.
Current ‘wish list’ items include China Academic Journals (East View; subscription), Communication & Mass Media Complete (EBSCO; subscription) and the Digital Sanborn Maps (ProQuest; subscription or one-time purchase). All are currently available as a 30-day trial subscription via the A-Z Database list.
For questions or comments about e-resources or journal subscriptions, please contact Jennifer van Sickle at Jennifer.vansickle@trincoll.edu
