Trial of new online services
Online services currently on trial, or recently on trial, are listed below. Temporary trial access to electronic services which may be of value to James Cook University is made available when the opportunity arises; this does not imply that the University will necessarily subscribe. Observations or comments (positive and negative) on the trials and value of the services are always appreciated and may be directed to the Faculty and School Librarians or to Neil Renison, Information Resources. Alternatively, you can complete our online Database Trial Feedback form.
Where the trial and further negotiation shows the service to be valuable, affordable, in demand and when sufficient funds are available, the University may subscribe.
