Collections Update - Research Guides at Rider University

The subscription to The Chronicle of Higher Education has been cancelled.. This decision was made after careful consideration of resource allocation and usage. We understand that The Chronicle of Higher Education is a valuable resource for many of you. Please be aware of the following options for accessing its content going forward:

1. Personal Subscriptions: Individuals who wish to maintain continuous access to The Chronicle of Higher Education may purchase a personal subscription directly. Please note that these personal subscriptions cannot be paid for using departmental or university funds. You can find information on personal subscriptions here.

2. Interlibrary Loan (ILL): You can continue to request specific articles from The Chronicle of Higher Education through our Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service (https://guides.rider.edu/ill). University Library’s ILL department is highly efficient and typically fulfills article requests within three hours or less, ensuring timely access to the content you need for your research and teaching.

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.

The Moore Library has added the following resources to our collection. Harper's Bazaar & Vogue Archives are resources that will support a new program in Design and Technology.

The Collection Development Committee (CDC) and the library faculty have decided to switch from Nexis Uni to HeinOnline, which are both legal resources. Prior to our decision to switch from Nexis Uni to HeinOnline, the subject librarians identified any courses with a legal component. The subject librarians then surveyed the faculty members assigned to those courses. The results determined that most faculty members were not using Nexis Uni to find legal resources. Some faculty members reported that they already were using HeinOnline. Based on the survey feedback and librarian trial feedback, Moore Library decided to cancel our subscription to Nexis Uni and to subscribe to HeinOnline.
