In order to help minimize spread of the coronavirus and protect our campus community, Cowles Library is adjusting our services, hours, and building access. Read more...
We have the option of purchasing ABC-CLIO databases as one-time purchases. We used to have access to African-American Experience and Latino-American Experience, but these were cancelled at the beginning of COVID. Their usage was up and down over the years, but we always saved it from being cancelled because they are diversity resources. We would like to consider purchasing these and any others that look good with our endowed funds and perhaps any year-end money (if there is any).
Below are the databases available and their pricing. Use the PA list price column, as we are not looking to add any subscriptions at this point.
Note that we get discounts off of list price for bundling. Also note that we will pay an annual $200 hosting fee per purchased collection.
