Thanks, Angie! We’ve been fortunate that we haven’t had to do this very often – but of course that means I have very little in my archive of practices to remind me about it. LOL.

I hope all is going well this first week of classes at KU. It’s hot and steamy out here, so I’m sure it’s worse back east!

Hi, Jennifer.

KU uses variations of the following language that includes a feedback form link.

[Due to budget constraints,] This resource has been cancelled and will be unavailable after [Month, Day, Year]. Access is retained to [Collection or date range] only.

Consider using [Other Database Link] as an alternative resource. If you have questions or concerns, please contact us.

Can anyone point me to good examples of language they use on A-Z database lists informing users that a resource has been canceled?

We’ve canceled a large resource and want to leave it in the list with notice and a simple explanation of why.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
