[Eril-l] 2026 Electronic Access to American Journal of Public Health

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Hi, Jennifer.
The College of the Holy Cross also received that message for the American
Journal of Public Health. Happily, we can access AJPH in 2026 via one of
our EBSCO database subscriptions. We received a similar message about some
University of Toronto Press journals. Again, we can access the content in
2026 via EBSCO databases.
I am interested in what other libraries are doing. Is anyone going back to
print? Have you changed your collection policies so that you no longer will
retain some titles permanently (online)?
I know that many of our online journal subscriptions have moved to annual
rentals with no perpetual access. However, the move of these titles to an
aggregator is a game changer. And, I am sorry for those who do not have the
correct EBSCO databases because your choice is print or nothing.

Judith
