As noted in previous emails, due to ongoing budget reductions and inflation, the Libraries will need to cancel subscriptions and reduce collection purchases in FY25. They are committed to making these changes with transparency and, wherever possible, input from the university community. In Spring 2024, the Libraries will host hybrid town hall meetings open to all faculty. They will also continue talking with faculty in departments, schools, and colleges to discuss specialized resources.
In February, the Libraries will hold two hybrid town hall meetings:
Wednesday, February 28: 1-2 p.m.
Thursday, February 29: 10-11 a.m.
Please join us in the Fenwick Library Reading Room (room 2001, go up the main staircase to the second floor and make a u-turn) or via Zoom:
February 28: https://gmu.zoom.us/j/98271840875?pwd=NWg1Nlhnb1hPYTJRVERtcmU2b21FZz09
February 29: https://gmu.zoom.us/j/93438539276?pwd=ZEZUbTNtcEVDR2hFaUFQaHRvOHhvdz09
If you are unable to attend, please share any questions and comments with your subject librarian or fill out this feedback form.
