More state agencies were contacted for the 2018 subscriptions review — an increase from 115 to 127 agencies. However, the total number of state agencies that responded dropped — a decrease from 107 to 94 agencies.
The number of state agencies reporting subscriptions increased from 54 to 58 agencies, and the number of state agencies reporting no subscriptions decreased from 53 to 36 agencies. The increase of reported subscriptions may be related to communications that explained which subscriptions are reference- and research-related subscriptions.
Most positions that reported state agency subscriptions were from the management level (50%). This number also reflects the number of smaller agencies within the state.
The total number of subscriptions reported by state agencies for July 2017 through January 2019 was 582.
Most subscriptions (52.25%) were for newspapers, with the next highest percentages being databases (12.71%), journals (11.68%), and magazines (7.22%).
Duplicate subscriptions were determined at two levels: (a) between state agencies and (b) between state agencies and the State Library.
Non-newspaper duplicate subscriptions were fairly minimal.
While some duplicate subscriptions may be reduced, other duplicate subscriptions will continue because of the specific reference and research information needs of state agencies.
