Database Changes as of July 1st

As of July 1st, these updates have been made to our database offerings:

New EBSCO eBook Academic Collection: Ebook titles previously held in the ProQuest Ebook Central platform have been migrated to the EBSCO eBook Academic Collection database where possible.
EBSCO databases: Learn about the interface updates here. While all other data will be migrated from personal accounts, Journal Alerts and Search Alerts must be recreated in the new interfaces. If you had items saved in Folders, you can recreate their structure in the new Projects feature.
Discontinuation of databases: Due to funding cuts at the federal level, some databases previously provided by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners are no longer available. Read more about the changes. While Library Services has not renewed some database contracts for FY25-26, negotiations are still underway.

If you have any questions regarding the changes to our databases, please contact your liaison librarian. If you have technical questions, send a message to us via Ask the Library.
