In Spring 2026 UNCW Library received one-time funding for two resources, Scopus and IEEE Electronic Library, to support UNCW’s increased focus on research as part of its designation as an R2 university. Funding is guaranteed for only one year, so feedback from the campus community is critical. In addition to this feedback, Library staff will review usage and cost metrics for these resources over the next year in an effort to demonstrate a long-term need for these subscriptions.
