So Sad: N.J. database access may dry up for funding shortage
N.J. database access may dry up for funding shortage
The New Jersey Knowledge Initiative has given students, faculty, entrepreneurs and small businesses free access to costly, proprietary resources since 2005. But the state-funded database will be forced to shutdown on Feb. 28 unless an additional $1 million in state funding is secured.
Quick Comment: Two words about this article. SO SAD!!!
Libraries and vendors must do more to demonstrate why these databases can be useful and $$$ savers for users. People can’t use what they don’t know about.
