After researching other academic libraries and consulting with library staff, faculty, and external vendors, Library and Learning Services is pleased to announce 21 new e-resource collections. Although the following resources were selected with specific programs in mind, they should also benefit broader Faculties. The table below includes the names of the e-resources being launched this month, and the targeted Faculty that may benefit from using a specific resource.

Library and Learning Services is also pleased to announce that we have increased the number of seats for all Safari e-Books collections to 10 concurrent users. Access to MarketResearch.com and CRC’s ENGnetBASE will be available in May, and Sustainalytics in June.
Over the next few months, we will continue to assess new journal and monograph titles to add to the Library’s collection. We appreciate hearing from our faculty. If you require a specific journal or book, please contact Ahtasham Rizvi (ahtasham.rizvi@sheridancollege.ca). Please expect more announcements in the months ahead.
Please take some time to look at these new resources by visiting the Database A-Z list available on the Library’s Web site. Should you have any questions about these collections or any Library resource, or if you would like to schedule training for you or your students, please contact your Liaison Librarian.
