The ECU Libraries have temporary trial access to the databases listed below for evaluation purposes only. We encourage ECU students, faculty and staff to examine these resources and provide the Library with input about their usefulness, quality of content, relevance to ECU programs, etc. Ongoing subscriptions to any of the databases will depend on the feedback received, the Electronic Resource Review Committee's review of the database, the cost involved, and the availability of funding.
