Campus Cards -- Chilliwack

After today, December 12th, the Chilliwack Library will no longer be issuing Campus Cards. This is in part due to a renovation that is about to begin at the Chilliwack Library. For Winter Semester, the SUS has extended the shuttle grace period to 3 weeks, January 6 – 24. So Chilliwack students can ride the shuttle to Abbotsford to get their Campus Card at the Campus Card Office (S1101).

E-Book Central Downtime Dec 20 - 21/19

Proquest is conducting system maintenance on their E-Book Central platform. This will affect our e-book access in the following time window:
Friday, Dec. 20th - 6 pm. to Saturday, Dec. 21st - 4 am.

New Demand Driven Acquisition Program

We have launched a new Demand Driven Acquisition program on the Proquest E-Book Central platform. Records for over 16,000 new titles are now showing up in our Books & DVD's catalogue.
The library will pay a short term loan fee for titles that are viewed once or twice, with titles being purchased on the third use.

The program provides us with access to new titles from approximately 90 academic publishers, including ABC-CLIO, American Chemical Society, Brill, Canadian Science Publishing, Cornell University Press, Elsevier, Guildford, Jessica Kingsley, John Wiley, Palgrave MacMillan, Purdue University Press, Royal Society of Chemistry, Stanford University Press, and the University of Montreal Press.

We have also started an Access-To-Own DDA plan with CRC Press, Duke University Press, Human Kinetics Press, Morgan & Claypool, Sage, and University of Chicago Press. These titles are on the Proquest EBC platform as well.

For questions, contact Patti Wilson at loc. 4277.
