The TexShare program run by the Texas State Library recently announced the new lineup of titles that will be available through STAT!Ref. We get our STAT!Ref access via the state library, so those changes will be in effect for Austin Community College Library Services.
Small changes are made with every new contract, but this year, McGraw-Hill has decided to discontinue offering their titles through STAT!Ref. There are major titles that won't be available any longer through this platform, including Hurst's The Heart, Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment, Goodman & Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, Williams' Obstetrics, and several others.
I am currently exploring avenues for purchasing access to these titles through other means. In the meantime, STAT!Ref is replacing these titles with similar ones from other publishers. Please consult the following spreadsheet for a complete list of the titles being dropped and those being added. You will need to be logged into your ACC Google Apps account in order for the link to work:
STAT!Ref Titles Changes from 2010 to 2011
If you point to any of these STAT!Ref titles in any of your course pages, please check to see if they will be available next year. I will try to obtain electronic access to some of these titles through another vendor -- but if you have any concerns or questions, please let me know.
