How will services to state employees be affected by the proposed cuts?
The proposed Senate-passed budget cuts eliminate services to both state employees and to the general public. Reference assistance, whether by phone, email, or in person, will no longer be available. Online databases will also go away. These databases include ProQuest, Nexus-Lexis, EBSCO, Ovid, Infotrieve, and BIOSIS. Database licenses and journal subscriptions for both print and electronic formats will be cancelled. Table of contents services will cease. Inter-library borrowing of materials will no longer be available. Service to legislative staff will end.
