Periodicals Proposed for Cancellation - Fall 2008
Library Deselection Recommendations
The library thanks everyone who helped with the de-selection review of library materials in the spring. We are again asking for your help.At this time, we are re-examining our periodical subscriptions because:
- Periodical subscriptions have been increasing at a rate much higher than the CPI; in recent years the annual rate has ranged between 8% and 10%.
- By next year, if inflation continues at these rates, we will be paying about $100,000 more than we paid four years ago for periodical subscriptions.
- Our periodicals budget hasn’t grow by 8% to 10% each year in the past, and in the current budget climate I don’t expect it will in the next few years. If we don’t take steps to decrease the amount spent on subscriptions, we will have less and less each year in our budget to invest on books and electronic resources.
The library now seeks faculty input on this list of proposed cancellations. To participate in the review of these titles, you will need to enter your Oneonta username and password. For each title under consideration, there is a link to “send email” so that you can provide the librarians with your thoughts about whether or not the subscription should be dropped beginning in 2009.

Periodicals Proposed for Cancellation—Fall 2008We know this is a busy and demanding time for faculty, but we really need your assistance with this process. Cancellation decisions must be done in the next few weeks in order to produce savings in this fiscal year. We appreciate your input as we move forward with these important decisions.
Andrea Gerberg (e-mail gerberaf@oneonta.edu) is the contact librarian for this project. Please send your input about any of the currently proposed titles by October 3, 2008. Thanks.
