This collection represents holdings from our previous license agreements. The holdings are being automatically uploaded by Elsevier based on what they think we should have. It should be accurate, but it is not. Every campus has unique entitlements based on the early license agreements which were partly determined by print holdings. We do not have a comprehensive list of title holdings. We will be reviewing these titles over the summer and adjusting our QuickSearch holdings, so some access may be discontinued as we figure out our entitlements.
