* '''Expanded and renewed partnership: [[W:EN:WP:JSTOR|JSTOR]]'''

JSTOR is an excellent all purpose database for accessing thousands of academic journals. Not only did JSTOR extend access for the original 100 subscribers from January until June, but we are very excited to see that partnership expand from 100 to 500 total accounts! When we announced the expanded partnership in June, we saw hundreds of applicants. We also conducted a JSTOR usage survey, with 40 responses (40% response rate), that helped tremendously in persuading the expansion through quantitative data and great usage stories.

* '''Expanded and renewed partnership: [[W:EN:WP:CREDO|Credo]]'''

We were initially approved to renew 500 accounts and add 140 new ones. Credo is currently rethinking the collection editors will have access to, switching from 350+ reference works instead to a collection of topic pages which closely overlap with our highest importance, most trafficked articles. This may be a reduction in access compared to where we started with Credo; we're still exploring the details.
