look good.
We shine even more."
CMRLS Databases and the Regional Merger
While CMRLS services will end on June 30, 2010, most databases have been renewed through FY11 (July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011) in order to give the Massachusetts Library System (MLS) time to consider what resources it will offer to members.
The following list is also available in a handy PDF chart. (pdf, 1 page)
