Many licenses were contracted jointly with other Wisconsin academic libraries, at a savings for Marquette. The Libraries now subscribe to over 100 databases, about half providing full text capabilities.
Electronic books pose the most questions and challenges for libraries.
The Libraries monitor use of electronic resources closely. Counting methods vary among our vendors, but it is clear that the acceptance of electronic resources is expanding. ProQuest alone provided 387,223 full-text articles last year. Off-campus access to licensed databases also increased dramatically. If interested, inquire at the 2 nd floor desk.
