Three NJKI databases lost. -- Due to lack of state funding for NJKI, the New Jersey Knowledge Initiative, we can no longer provide access to three databases.

Most of the journals in Biomedical Reference and Nursing and Allied Health can be found in the Academic Search Premier database.

Image Collections page renamed Multimedia Collections. -- The Image Collections page has been renamed 'Multimedia Collections' due to the growing number of video products.

Bates' Visual Guide to Physical Examination. -- To improve performance of the Bates' product, we have changed how the video is served through our network.
