Library Additions/Deletions

The Carpenter Library, along with other departments in the School of Medicine, has been asked to lower its operating budget over the next 18 months. In order to meet the requested goals, the Library has eliminated positions, cut travel, and will be cutting select subscriptions to journals, databases and books. The Library’s Collection Development Committee evaluates resources throughout the year and the decision to eliminate these resources is guided by how much each costs, how much each one is used, and how much research and the curriculum would be affected if such resources were not available, etc.

In addition, a committee of researchers and clinicians was formed to give valuable input and insight into the initial decisions. We have attempted to maintain a balance that meets the critical needs of our researchers, clinicians, and students within the limits imposed by our future budgets.
