CUNY - SUNY Database Offers
Gale Cengage Learning was contacted about providing
a discount offer to CUNY and SUNY libraries for  their
Health Reference Center and Nursing/Allied Health databases. If a library chose to  subscribe, they
would also be eligible for free access to the vendor's Nursing Resource Center.
Efforts on behalf of and by SUNY and CUNY provided the
largest discount possible for subscribing libraries.
Approximately 20 libraries from both systems opted for
one or both of the subscriptions.
