Note: This guide is intended to provide basic information about past database trials and the process by which the State Library evaluates databases. This guide is not actively maintained and does not include recent database trials. If you have questions about databases provided by the State Library for state employee use, please contact Janelle Youngblood, Electronic Resources Librarian.
The State Library occasionally offers short-term trial access to databases we are considering for future subscriptions. This guide collects brief information about past trial databases, along with providing more detailed information for current trial databases.
We actively seek feedback from state employees during the evaluation process. We request input via feedback surveys, which are shared in emails, the Government Information & Library Services' newsletter, eClips tips, this guide, and the Databases A-Z page.
