Dear Library Users,
In order to better utilize the resources, the University Library, after communicating with the academic units, has terminated a number of less used databases and newly subscribed to some e-resources for 2025 which are important to our teaching, learning and research in the year to come. The details can be found in the attached lists.
Meanwhile, the University Library is planning to terminate the survey tool Qualtrics starting from 1st January 2026, due to budget allocation issues. The survey tool QuestionPro, which is with similar features and has been used in the institutions in Hong Kong and worldwide for some years, is being considered to serve as the alternative for Qualtrics at UM. The new survey platform QuestionPro will be released for a trial run from June 2025, along with user guides and instructions for data migration. The Library reminds users who are currently using Qualtrics for surveys or planning to use Qualtrics as a survey tool to consider the potential impact of transitioning to QuestionPro on your research or work. We welcome your comments and suggestions.
The complete list of databases is available at:
https://library.um.edu.mo/resources/electronic_resources/databases/list_en
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the database termination and change.
Should you have any other concerns or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us at lib_ref@um.edu.mo
