Library Resources Cancellation Project

Due to budget challenges, UC Irvine Libraries are implementing a library resources cancellation project that will reduce the number of resources available to campus users. Some of the cancellations will be for UC Irvine locally licensed resources, and some will be for UC systemwide-licensed resources, which were selected via a group decision by campus librarians from across the system. 

To inform these difficult decisions, librarians reviewed usage data and cost metrics, drawing on their deep subject expertise to make supportable decisions.  They also worked to maintain as much full-text content as possible, distribute cancellations equitably across disciplines, and avoid disproportionate reductions in particular material types (such as ebooks).

Most of the resources are on a January–December contract, so access will cease at the end of December 2025. Once access ends, you can request the resources (e.g., books and journal articles) via Interlibrary Loan. Subject librarians can also provide advice about alternative resources that might meet your research needs.
