Electronic Resources: Changes in 2019

After some distinct adaptations with new resources but also with cancellations in the last years we saw only minor changes in our portfolio in this year.

Journals:

• Brill: We successfully negotiated a 1-year-trial to the complete Brill E-Journals collection. Brill is a well-known publisher for humanities, but has also a collection of biology journals.
• Elsevier: The journal Structure (Cell Press) was subscribed.
• ISPG: After the International Scholarly Publication Group disappeared from business in 2018, we ensured access to the most used journals via direct licenses.
• all journals from the International Water Association (IWA)
• the Journal of Nuclear Medicine and the Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology        from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI).
• Mary Ann Liebert: After our trial to three journal collections in 2017 we now can offer a year-long trial for all 90+ journals from the publisher Mary Ann Liebert.
• Nature: We licensed Nature Sustainability and Nature Catalysis, both launched in 2018.
• Oxford University Press: The upgrade from the Full collection 2018 to the Full Collection 2019 includes 17 new journals.

Databases:

• We set up a year-long trial to the Forestry Compendium and the Forest Science database from the Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International (CABI).
