There is a finite, smaller and still decreasing pool of money for FY2010 and that unfortunately means losses of valuable resources. Therefore, State Library funded access to Heritage Quest will cease effective December 31, 2009. The State Library and Regional Cooperatives will explore outside funding for this important database in the future. In the near term, the Regional Cooperatives and the State Library may explore a discounted group purchase with ProQuest for interested member libraries.

The State Library has been notified by the Office of Management and Budget to expect additional budget cuts in this fiscal year and next. We will let the New Jersey library community know as soon as we have word as to what those cuts are.
