In the spring of 2025, Duke University required all schools and departments, including Duke's libraries, to dramatically reduce their operating and personnel budgets in response to the current US presidential administration's policies and orders related to higher education. This resulted in severe restrictions to our spending for research databases and data.
For this reason, Ford Library has had to make some hard choices regarding our suite of online research resources. Databases tagged with "Access ends on..." on our A-Z list will not be renewed for the coming year. We hope to be able to resume subscriptions in the future, and are committed to providing the best possible set of research tools for our students and faculty. If you have questions or concerns about a particular product, feel free to email us at reference-librarians@fuqua.duke.edu.
