Western Libraries to host Subscriptions Open Forum on Feb. 12

As part of this year’s subscription review process, Western Libraries will host a Subscriptions Open Forum in the style of the University Budget Forums. The Forum will take place via Zoom on Thursday, Feb.12 from 4-5:15 p.m. Participants are asked to register in advance.   

 The Forum will provide an overview of the current subscriptions landscape, give people an opportunity to ask questions, and serve as a jumping-off point for the Libraries’ winter subscriptions feedback period. We will record the Forum and make it available to those unable to attend. Captioning will be available with the recording.  

 At the end of February, the Libraries will share this year’s draft subscription review list and invite feedback via survey.  

Questions? Please review the FAQ page or contact one of your Subject Teams. Western Libraries welcomes the opportunity to discuss library subscriptions and the changing landscape of scholarly publishing and will add new questions and answers to the public FAQ page as they arise.
