Guides: SUNY Libraries COVID-19 Planning and Information: Vendor Information and Special Offers for e-Resources

Complimentary E-resource Access

3/27/2020 Alert: Please refrain from adding any further e-resource activations for the next few days, while SLS loads large packages in the NZ and helps clean up hung activation jobs. Thank you!

SLS will activate the following temporarily free packages for you:

EBSCOhost Academic eBook Collection (North America)
EBSCOhost Academic Search Ultimate
EBSCOhost Business Source Ultimate

We're working with ExL to try to get these updated as quickly as possible in Primo indexing as well. Please complete the form below if you have packages that you think would be best managed centrally rather than in each campus's Alma.
