Good News for Jersey Clicks users !!!

In the final state budget for FY2009 signed by Gov. Corzine, the New Jersey Knowledge Initiative was restored at the FY2008 level. “Jersey Clicks” became operational on Jul. 15, 2008 with the most used and valued databases, such as Contemporary Authors, EBSCO and Ref USA (with an enhanced "New Business" feature).

The only impact for our users is the loss of the "Academic Search Premier" database.

Enjoy !!!
