Tough economic situations bring tough choices for us all. I have recently had to make some very tough choices regarding journal titles in the University Libraries subscription portfolio.

The journals on the following list will be canceled soon.

I have included notes if the WSU Libraries will maintain access to the journal through a secondary subscription source. (Some subscription cessations are only one of several the library pays.)
  • Acta informatica – will remain available in the Electronic Journal Center
  • AI magazine
  • Applied mathematics and mechanics = Ying yung shu hsueh ho li hsueh
  • Arkiv for matematik – will remain available in the Electronic Journal Center
  • Canadian metallurgical quarterly
