Trinity University chemistry faculty and librarians have followed a model of strong cooperation to beat the battle of the budget over information resources. Recognizing that shrinking financial resources requires creative solutions, we have explored new ways to insure that we deliver the appropriate combination of resources, principally databases and journals, to support information literacy for our undergraduate students and our active research program. The talk will discuss the difficult choices that were made and how the active participation of both faculty and library staff helped make implementation of these changes as seamless as possible.
