Films on Demand Career & Technical Collection -- cancellation

[cflora]

VIVA recently acquired the Films on Demand Master Academic Collection for all  public institutions. The acquisition of this product reduces cost for the system while simultaneously providing access to all colleges.

VIVA's subscription does not include the Career & Technical (C&T) Collection, however, which was subscribed to by the VCCS. Due to the transition of this product to VIVA, the Shared Collections Committee (SCC) took the opportunity to analyze our subscription to the C&T Collection. After looking at price, usage statistics, titles, and copyright dates, the SCC recommended that we cancel the C&T subscription at the VCCS level. The recommendation was brought to the VCCS Library Leadership Steering Committee for approval, and they unanimously voted to cancel the collection.

The VCCS subscription to the Career & Technical Collection expires in April and will not be renewed. Individual colleges may choose to subscribe locally, but the VIVA contract does not include discounts for additional products.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Does this mean that we now have access?   Whereas before we did not?   I just want to be sure so I don't tell people we do, when we don't.  

Thanks!

Jennifer: the VIVA subscription started 1/1/19, so yes, you should have access.
