The University of Toledo Libraries' electronic resource subscriptions budget for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 (July 1, 2022-June 30, 2023) is 2.7% more than the previous fiscal year. This is due to a slight increase in the amount of endowed funds available for subscription purchases.
The allocated amount from general University funds is $2,807,234 (the same as the past two fiscal years). The allocated amount from University Libraries' endowments is $272,582. The total amount budgeted for electronic resource subscriptions in FY22-23 is $3,080,016. All subscription expenditures will be for electronic resources. (University Libraries no longer subscribes to any print journals or indexes.)
Every effort is being made to minimize the number of cancellations, despite ongoing annual subscription inflation. A few local e-journal titles have been added, and OhioLINK is adding several new electronic resources, courtesy of a second round of funding from the Governor's Emergency Education Relief (GEER) program. See below for lists of resources cancelled and added so far in FY22-23.
