Attention, les accès en test ouverts pour les Bibliothèques ne conduisent pas automatiquement à l’acquisition de ces ressources. L’abonnement aux ressources électroniques, en général très coûteuses, dépend directement des budgets alloués aux Bibliothèques.

No access to 2014 Springer eBooks

Accommodating the rising costs of electronic publications is difficult as they have risen much faster than inflation in the past years, while budgets stagnated. Therefore the Consortium Luxembourg is unable to continue to add new eBooks published in 2014 to its Springer eBook collection.
This decision affects only Springer eBooks to be published in 2014, those will not become available on findit.lu. Access to eBooks published from 2005-2013 continues without any changes!

We’re hoping to be able to update our Springer licence with the 2014 eBooks titles as soon as the current funding situation improves.
For further assistance or questions, please send an e-mail to help@findit.lu.

Subscription update: Wiley and Oxford University Press

In order to deal with our current budget situation and rising license costs of electronic subscriptions, the Consortium Luxembourg was unable to add new journal titles to two journal collections in 2014. Access to historical titles (including 2014 issues) will continue!

This decision affects:
Oxford University Press Journals: Our ongoing subscription to Oxford University Press Journals includes all journal titles which were part of the OUP collection in 2012. For these titles, all the latest issues published in 2014 will be available. For journal titles launched or acquired by Oxford University Press after 2012, no access at all will be available.

Wiley Online Library: Our ongoing subscription to the Wiley Online Library includes all journal titles which were part of the Wiley collection in 2010. For these titles, all the latest issues published in 2014 will be available. Only for journal titles launched or acquired by Wiley after 2011 no issues will be available.

We’re hoping to be able to update our subscriptions with the additional journal titles as soon as the current funding situation improves.
