Friday, Dec 11, 2020
Cancellation Notice, Collections

Access ends: December 31, 2020 

Estimated savings: $22,000  

Reasons for cancellation: 

  • The Science & Technology Journal Package accounts for less than 5.5% of overall Taylor & Francis journal usage but accounts for 26% of our overall Taylor & Francis costs.  

  • The strength of the Taylor & Francis journal collection is the Social Sciences and Humanities Package, which includes key health titles, all of which are being retained 

Alternative resources: 

Moderate-use titles with 90+ uses over three years combined (average 30+ uses/year) in order of most used to least:

  • Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition  

  • Society & Natural Resources  

  • Traffic Injury Prevention  

  • Ergonomics  

  • International Journal of Production Research  

  • Chronobiology International  

  • Behaviour & Information Technology   

Indexing to these journals will remain, and articles may be accessed via Interlibrary Loan. 

This cancellation decision has been made based on usage data, cost, uniqueness of content, overlap of content with other databases and impact on disciplines. 

Please contact Sandy Stift, Associate Dean, Library, stifts@macewan.ca if you have questions or concerns about this resource.
