Journals Review and Cancellations: We Need Your FeedbackLike many units across campus, HSL is making necessary budget cuts. We have some tough decisions to make and we want to ensure we make the right ones, so that any cancellation of subscriptions has the least impact on our users. In order to do that, we are seeking your feedback. During the month of June, a list of cancellation candidates will be available on our Web site , along with an online form where our library users can rank titles and offer comments. Thanks in advance for sharing your feedback in this critical process. Visit us online to learn more about the journals review process.Attention Hospital Employees: Are You Using HSL Resources from Off Campus?Starting May 13, 2009 you will need both your PID and your email address to access HSL resources from off-campus.
