P4C.com: new subscription for Feb 2012 - resources and forums for philosophy, citizenship and cross-curricular subjects.
Recent and upcoming cancellations:
- Nursery World: at the request of academic staff. 'Not academic enough!'
- Imaginative Minds subs: (e.g. Creative Teaching and Learning, Leadership Briefings) Price increases made them economically unviable.
- UKLA subs: (UKLA News, Journal of Research in Reading) Available until end 2012. UKLA have changed their policies, effectively barring academic institutions from purchasing institutional membership, which also enables online access to selected journals with an additional charge. The new subscription prices for just the individual journals will be much higher.
- Child Education Plus: Scholastic made this available to personal subscribers only, and online only so the university can no longer provide access to this publication.
- TDA Mentoring and Coaching Library: this resource has been closed down. More details on its potential availability on the CUREE website at: http://www.tda.gov.uk/cpd-leader/support-tools/mentoring-coaching-framework.aspx?keywords=mentoring and http://www.curee.co.uk/news/2012/01/future-mentoring-and-coaching-resources-now-tda-extranet
