As of March 31, Springer Nature will no longer allow access to articles for both educational and governmental institutions who do not have a journal subscription. Given the university’s budget situation, we do not have the funds for additional subscriptions. Springer Nature will only provide articles through limited interlibrary loan services. Delivery varies between 3-7 days.
Concerns about the publisher’s decision can be directed to Maria.Lopes@springernature.com. You can learn more about UConn’s commitment to responsive, relevant, and sustainable resource delivery in our Future of Collections statement. Questions about how this is affecting other academic institutions can be found on the SPARC website. SPARC is a nonprofit organization that supports open systems for research and education.
