...recently learned that access to the Harvard server disappears with graduation. That means no more JSTOR, no more Lexis-Nexis, and definitely no more 24-5 swipe access. I won’t have a huge sunny room of comfortable chairs and familiar faces in which to exercise that access. Nor will I have a basement full of Xerox machines, a reference room full of printers, and a whole room devoted to pleasure reading—in which no laptops are allowed...

...improvement. While useful, the old E-Resources website was a pain to navigate and made it difficult to find particular online journals and periodicals. With a long list of online journals and a crude search tool, most students resorted to browsing a few large resources like JSTOR or EconLit before they made the trek into the stacks of Widener Memorial Library, leaving most e-resources underused...

Then there are the more in-depth features, chief among which is the cross search, which lets you select multiple resources by name, category, or keyword and then search them all simultaneously.

Cost cannot be neglected, especially since so much academic material is available at no cost to all Harvard students online through resources such as JSTOR and Lexis-Nexis. The possibility that a course absolutely must offer large numbers of expensive readings that cannot be found (or substituted for) elsewhere seems remote...

...there is already talk of tying HOLLIS into the new search engine for the use of Harvard affiliates, the possibilities extend much further. We hope that HUL will eventually create a digital borrowing system that allows affiliates to access even its copyrighted holdings, much in the same way that JSTOR and other e-resources allow. We understand the potential constraints of copyright law, but we hope that Harvard makes the effort to push this project to its maximum potential. Such simple and broad access to knowledge in one place could change the way our scholars do research and remove physical...
