Trials


Available trials for electronic resources are listed below. Trials allow searching during a limited time period. These trials are often initiated by Minitex, which works to negotiate the lowest price possible for groups of libraries in the state that wish to subscribe to the resource. While the trial is underway, prices are usually unavailable to participating libraries because Minitex is uncertain about the potential number of subscribers and the various pricing options available from vendors. However, during the weeks of the trial MSU users can take advantage of the opportunity to advance their study and research.
