Current subscription to Annual Reviews Cancelled

The publisher, Annual Reviews (AR), introduced a new pricing structure as of January 2018 which would increase our AR subscription cost by 19%. USD librarians/Wegner needed to seriously consider the continuation of our subscription to this resource because a typical increase for an ongoing subscriptions is 3-6 %. USD Libraries/Wegner made the decision to cancel AR.

Access to volumes published prior to 2018 will remain available. For content published after January 1, 2018, users can generally obtain articles via interlibrary loan. Much of the health and medicine related content becomes available in PubMed Central (PMC) after a 

6 – 12 month embargo.

New Discovery System

The Wegner Library is implementing a new integrated library services system. This system will enhance library services and better connect the Wegner partners and community users to the information resources and digital tools they need.

The cloud-based system will improve discovery, allowing students, faculty and staff to better refine search strategies, as well as provide analytics and more simplified and efficient staff workflows. 

Look for the change to be in effect in August. The main search/discovery interface will be available at usd.edu/library/wegner

What will this mean for me?

The interface for locating, accessing and obtaining resources will change in August. Many new features will allow for better discovery of the Wegner Library's virtual and print collections. 

What resources will I find in Wegner's Library One Search?

You will be able to find scholarly and peer-reviewed articles, books and e-books, journals, dissertations, music, videos, government documents, newspaper articles, reviews and digital library content. 

Where can I get help navigating the new system?

For more information on how to use the new Library One Search, please see our Primo/LibraryOne Search Library Guide or Ask a Wegner Librarian for help.
