The Electronic Resources unit acquires and negotiates licenses for online databases and collections of ebooks and ejournals and also manages the renewal and cancellation process for these resources. We catalog tens of thousands of ebooks annually, work with Library and Campus IT to maintain off-campus access to resources, and troubleshoot when resources are inaccessible or do not work as expected.
