Refocusing the Library Collection

Usage analysis

The Library Collections team has undertaken a significant analysis of our print and online collections. In addition to usage data, the Library is also looking at other factors such as resource costs, content duplication, licensing terms, and full text availability. They have collaborated with our subject librarians to determine alternatives to resources that are being cut (as you'll see in the chart below). We have taken care to ensure that the effects of the cuts are shared fairly so that no one group is disproportionally affected.

As you will see below, we have made a recommendation for alternative resources wherever possible.
