Reasons for cancellation

The library collection budget has been reduced by 6% for 2023-2024, necessitating difficult choices. 62 of the most heavily used Springer journals have been retained, and access to all subscribed content published 1997-2023 will continue. An increasing number of new articles are available through open access and author self-archiving. See Update on Springer Journals for more details about this decision as well as a list of retained titles.

Alternative resources

The library has developed a mitigation strategy to minimize impact to the services that the U of G community has come to rely on.

Interlibrary Loan: We have greatly streamlined the process of requesting materials from other libraries. Requesting can be done directly through Omni. Learn more about interlibrary loans.

LibKey Nomad: Nomad is a browser extension that streamlines access to both openly available content and library subscription content from anywhere on the internet. Download LibKey Nomad, or learn more on our Install LibKey Nomad guide.

The library is committed to ensuring that members of our user community with disabilities have equal access to our services and resources and that their dignity and independence is always respected. If you encounter a barrier and/or need an alternate format, please fill out our Library Print and Multimedia Alternate-Format Request Form.
