Obituaries Collection by ProQuest Discontinued December 4, 2009

Due to the collection development budget being cut we have identified several databases to be dropped when they come due. The Obituaries Collection by Proquest is one of those databases. The link is working but will be removed early next week when Jon get’s back. We have elected to keep Obituaries and GenealogyBank by NewsBank as it is the obituary database which gets the most use by our patrons.
In our decision as to which databases to cut we looked at usage (views) and cost per view. We also looked at if we had more than one database which contained the same or similar information. Some of you will be disappointed to see a favorite database be discontinued but in these tough economic times we have to be more economical.
As databases get discontinued you will be notifed here at the Virtual Library Notes, so stay tuned for further updates.

As of today we will no longer subscribe to BookFlix. Unfortunatley, this a budget decision. If you have patrons who like reading picture books online or young children who enjoy listening to stories please refer them to the OverDrive collection at Ebooks To Go.

As of July 31, 2009 Live Homework Help (Tutor.com) is no longer available from the Library. Please refer your students to BrainFuse (HelpNow!). We tried both of these services and BrainFuse (HelpNow!) was much more popular with students. It also provides on-going tutoring services not just help with a single homework question.
