SUNYConnect libraries now have access to extensive resources that provide a good fit with the major curricular needs of the university. The numerous business and nursing programs around SUNY have a more complete array of information resources to support those courses. In addition, the many education departments around SUNY can offer a comprehensive full-text database for their students. The SUNYConnect Advisory Council (S.A.C.) has accepted the recommendation of a SUNY-wide committee investigating the best use of SUNYConnect database funds. Part of that group's charge was to see whether the SUNYConnect electronic resources could include more full-text in areas that encompass common subject areas/programs chosen by our students. The new SUNYConnect resources from EBSCO Publishing areSUNYConnect institutions continue to have access to: ScienceDirect Ideally, of course, SUNYConnect institutions would have access to all of these resources and more -- Early English Books Online, additional general science resources, Project Muse titles and, if we were really flush with cash, PsycInfo. This is not currently the case, but SUNYConnect participants hope to keep expanding the resources available to the entire consortium. The emphasis of that expansion will continue to be on the teaching and research needs of the university.
