Alexander Street Press is offering a new Veterinary Education in Video collection and Nursing Assistant Education in Video series. See the program announcements on the consortium website. Harvard Business Review’s policy of limiting access of their electronic articles has again gotten some interest at: http://boingboing.net/2013/10/07/harvard-business-review-to-uni.html Since 2009 subscribers to this resource via EBSCO databases have seen the following notice:

ANNOUNCEMENT
The Council of Chief Librarians and the Community College League of California have again agreed to fund the purchase of CountryWatch for the community colleges for 2014. CountryWatch Premium provides the most cost-effective, current and comprehensive source of socio-demographic, cultural, historical, economic, political, environmental and investment information, along with news, analysis, maps, data and statistics on all of the world’s 192 countries and many non-sovereign nations. CountryWatch Premium is made up of four distinct features, the Country Reviews, Country Wire, CountryWatch Data, and Map Gallery, each complementing the other to provide maximum depth and coverage. We hope that the CCC librarians and CCC students continue to enjoy this resource.
