The UT Health Sciences Library in Memphis is facing a possible $340,000 collection deficit in FY 2008-2009, mostly because of journal/database inflation. Funding to support library collection inflation is uncertain; therefore, we have been asked to prepare for possible cuts (journals, databases, and books) and need your input.
Please complete the survey to indicate library resources that are critical to your work. You may add specific comments under individual titles and general comments at the end of the survey.
More than 1300 titles are listed alphabetically. To indicate those titles that are critical to your work, click the KEEP button.
Prior to making any cuts, we will post a list of those resources identified for cuts so that you may make appropriate plans.
Once again, please make any comments you may have on the survey instrument.
If you have any problems accessing or completing the survey, please contact Jennifer Watson (901-448-7955).
