Let the Trials Begin!

The Electronic Resources selection pages are now finalized.

The official trial period is March 2 through March 31, but some of the trials are already up, and some are ending early. Anything like this has been noted in bold type under the name of the resource.

Please be aware that there are two different pages this year, one for resources with trials.

And one for resources we are considering without trials.

There are also hyperlinks on each page, leading to the other one, and separate printer-friendly lists.

It was originally thought that the resources we weren't doing trials of were all ebooks, but some turned out to be databases, so I have noted in parenthesis what is what. (With Credo Reference, I had no idea what to call it.)

We've got a mix of pricing plans this year, subscription and perpetual access (purchase) models, so please pay careful attention to that column. With the addition of ebooks, there are a lot more caveats to consider, so be sure not to miss the "Special Considerations for Some E-Resources" document.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or encounter any problems, and happy evaluating!
