Please let me know if you use this database and you’d like us to make a case for maintain access to it. If I haven’t heard anything by the end of Friday I’ll assume we’re ok to drop it. Thanks! From: Robin Naughton <Robin.Naughton(a)qc.cuny.edu> Date: Thursday, September 19, 2024 at 10:04 AM To: James Lowry <James.Lowry(a)qc.cuny.edu> Subject: RE: GSLIS Faculty Meeting - Papers - September 5 2024 Hi James, We’ve been looking at our databases and wanted to check with you regarding Ulrichsweb (https://qc-cuny.libguides.com/az/ulrichsweb-global-serials-directory) Based on our data, it has low usage, but would you be able to tell me if the GSLIS Faculty uses it? My understanding is that it was used in some classes but I’m not sure if that is still the case. Thank you for any information you can provide. Best regards, Robin. -------------------------------------------------------- Robin Naughton, Ph.D. Interim Deputy Chief Librarian, Assistant Professor, Web and Digital Services Librarian Coordinator of User Experience Queens College Library<https://library.qc.cuny.edu/> | Profile<https://library.qc.cuny.edu/profile/robin-naughton/> Benjamin S.
