All academics are encouraged to recommend databases to the library using the Database Recommendation Form.
Below are some useful information regarding database recommendations:
- All recommendations will be reviewed by a librarian. A trial may be arranged, and user feedback during the trial is crucial for the subscription decision.
- After the trial, the library will review the feedback received, usage statistics and budget availability before making a final decision.
- Library subscriptions are based on the target audience range and anticipated continuity of use. If you need a database solely for your own research, please consider using your individual research funds.
- The library generally does not purchase datasets, standalone case studies, and individual market reports.
