The Collection Development Committee is cancelling access to OmniFile and EconLit. OmniFile and EconLit are being cancelled due to cost of unique titles and overlap with other databases.
Classical Scores, Historical Abstracts, and MRI Simmons have been cancelled. The Collection Development Committee is considering alternatives that would better meet the curricular needs of Rider University.
University Libraries has decided to cancel subscription access to Ancestry.com and ProQuest Historical Chicago Tribune. The decision to cancel access was based on a high cost per use and a lack of use. As a substitute for Ancestry, we recommend using HeritageQuest Online as a substitution for the Ancestry resource. Requests for ProQuest Historical Chicago Tribune should be submitted through ILL.
Rider University has acquired the New Play Exchange. Acquisition of this database supports the BFA in Acting for Film, Television and Theatre (BFA).
A National New Play Network (NNPN) project offers the world's largest digital library of scripts by living writers and a streamlined script discovery and recommendation engine for the new play sector. The NPX provides an open platform on which writers all over the world can share their work and others can discover that work.
