What? We won't have Proquest? No more online newspaper articles?
We will still subscribe to ANZ Reference Centre which is one of the Gulliver suite of databases. It also has articles from the daily papers from around Australia & international ones too, and includes The Age, Herald Sun, Australian, etc.
Council has cut our Reference budget by $15,000 so we had to make a few cuts.....
Also note that Masterfile Premier in the new Gulliver Core is an article database. We figured that we probably don't need 3 article databases.
Although we might like it, apparently Proquest didn't show up too well compared to ANZ Reference and Masterfile when it was officially evalauted by the Gulliver committe.
