Journal Cancellations Effective January 1, 2026

Due to recent budget cuts, Duke University Medical Center Library must make difficult decisions regarding our subscription resources. After a thorough review of multi-year usage data and subscription costs, we have decided to cancel the journals listed below.

What This Means

Effective January 1, 2026, Duke will no longer maintain active subscriptions to these titles. You will continue to have access to all content published during the years we held subscriptions. Content published in 2026 and beyond will not be available through Duke Libraries.

Canceled Journals

• Aerospace Medicine and Human Performance
• AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses

Each year, the Duke Medical Center Library & Archives evaluates its electronic subscriptions through a data-driven review to ensure responsible stewardship of our collection funds. These assessments help us provide the most useful resources for Duke Health and Duke University while phasing out subscriptions with consistently low use. 

As a result of this year’s review, access to MedOne Education will end for Duke University users on January 1, 2026. This decision follows several years of usage analysis. 

If you need an article, book, or chapter no longer available at Duke, you may request it through our Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan Services.

On Monday, June 30th, we're updating our back-end library systems, which may affect how you request articles from PubMed. When you click the get it@Duke button from PubMed, the results pages may look different than what you're used to seeing.

What This Means for You:

• Articles we have access to: While the interface may look different, you can still access all articles our library provides, just as before.
• Articles we don't have access to: Simply click "Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Request – Med Center Users" to request them through our streamlined process.
