Libraries Seeks User Feedback on 2025 Trial Resources
Syracuse University Libraries is seeking feedback on trial access to several online resources under consideration for its collections during the month of November 2025.
Trial resources have been selected by librarians, with a focus on responding to user requests and bringing new types of tools and content to campus for review. This year’s trials include online collections of patents, music scores, global news digests, grey literature, magazine archives, tools for drug identification and more. Designed for both students and professionals, two trial collections focus on providing self-paced learning modules for skills development in dozens of areas, ranging from data analytics and critical thinking to professionalism and interpersonal skills. Additional tools being trialed allow users to interact with content in new ways via Artificial Intelligence powered searching and text and data analysis.
Campus users are asked to visit the resource trials guide, explore the resources under consideration and provide feedback via the embedded form on the guide. Any insight on how well the proposed resource works, the quality and relevance of information in the resource, or how it might be useful in teaching or research, is helpful in the Libraries’ evaluation. Note that access is limited to members of the Syracuse University community and are offered in accordance with the Licensed Web Resources Access policy.
To suggest a title to explore in the future, please contact your Subject Librarian or use the Suggest a Title form. For questions about the trials period, contact Anne Rauh, Head of Collections and Research Services at aerauh@syr.edu.
