New Library Electronic Resources FY2022 — Home

New Electronic Resources

In 2022, the UConn Library used salary savings to purchase permanent online access to millions of scholarly journal articles, hundreds of ebooks and streaming videos, and millions of pages of primary sources in all subjects.

We have launched evidence-based and demand-driven collection development programs with Elsevier, ProQuest, and Oxford.

Everything listed in this guide (unless otherwise noted) was purchased in perpetuity with no ongoing fees. In most cases, preservation and access are assured through Portico. Everything is for unlimited concurrent users and is DRM free. Everything is available to all UConn, including Health and Law.

This guide is intended for library staff only. You are welcome to copy titles and descriptions and customize as desired to share directly with your faculty and students. A public blog post will go out in September.

Research Collections

Through evidence-based acquisition (EBA) and demand-driven acquisition (DDA) collection development models with JSTOR, Oxford University Press, Elsevier, and ProQuest, we have established access to tens of thousands of scholarly ebooks. These EBA and DDA models give us the option to purchase in perpetuity titles of our choice or titles that have seen significant usage, using our prepaid access fees.
