<div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">We have liaison librarians for each department, so they will send the announcement to faculty (who may be more likely to read
a personal email, but not always). We also have a monthly report distributed during the academic year in conjunction with the monthly faculty meeting. We provide rationale and price information explaining why cuts are being made, and alternatives for accessing
the information (e.g., ILL). The reports stay online from prior months. </span>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">You could try posting information sent to your faculty listserv on a libguide or webpage where they can review it later, but don't assume they will. S<span>ome faculty have told us they always read
the posted reports; some faculty have told us they never read the reports. </span>
<span></span>With the budget cuts lately, we can't necessarily ask the faculty whether it's okay to cut something. Cuts have to be made, and we make them as judiciously as possible based on data and mindful of impact on research and teaching.<br>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">IMHO, don't assume it's your fault faculty don't know something you've communicated. Communication is a two way street, and you cannot make someone actually read what you send or post. They may be
over</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">whelmed with email (I know I am) or just don't bother to read your reports or don't think about the impact of a particular item until months later when they want a particular article.
There may be nothing you can do about this!<br>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">We’ve been trying to develop a protocol for alerting our user community when the library is cancelling or discontinuing a database or e-resources subscription. We currently send notification via our faculty listserv, but it seems they’re
always surprised when a resource is no longer available. I was wonder what, if any steps, other libraries take to alert their communities, and have they been effective?<u></u><u></u></p>
