Library News — University Library Databases and Survey Tool Updates for 2025
圖書館消息 -- 2025年大學圖書館資料庫及問卷調查工具最新消息
Dear Library Users,
In order to better utilize the resources, the University Library, after communicating with the academic units, has terminated a number of less used databases and newly subscribed to some e-resources for 2025 which are important to our teaching, learning and research in the year to come. The details can be found in the attached lists.
Meanwhile, the University Library is planning to terminate the survey tool Qualtrics starting from 1st January 2026, due to budget allocation issues. The survey tool QuestionPro, which is with similar features and has been used in the institutions in Hong Kong and worldwide for some years, is being considered to serve as the alternative for Qualtrics at UM. The new survey platform QuestionPro will be released for a trial run from June 2025, along with user guides and instructions for data migration. The Library reminds users who are currently using Qualtrics for surveys or planning to use Qualtrics as a survey tool to consider the potential impact of transitioning to QuestionPro on your research or work. We welcome your comments and suggestions.
The complete list of databases is available at:
https://library.um.edu.mo/resources/electronic_resources/databases/list_en
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the database termination and change.
Should you have any other concerns or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us at lib_ref@um.edu.mo
Thank you for your kind attention and understanding.
Regards,
UM Library
親愛的圖書館用戶：
為了更好地利用資源，大學圖書館在與各學術單位溝通後，已停訂一些使用率較低的資料庫，並於2025年新增了一些對教學、學習與研究至關重要的電子資源。具體詳情請參閱附件中的列表。
與此同時，由於預算分配問題，大學圖書館計劃於2026年1月1日起停止訂購問卷調查工具Qualtrics。圖書館目前正考慮採用功能相似且已在香港及全球多所機構被普遍使用的問卷調查工具QuestionPro作為Qualtrics的替代工具。新的QuestionPro平台將於2025年6月推出試用，屆時會提供用戶指南及數據遷移指引。圖書館提醒目前正在使用Qualtrics進行問卷調查或計劃利用Qualtrics作為問卷調查工具的用戶，應該考量將來切換至QuestionPro對您的研究或工作所帶來的潛在影響。我們歡迎您提供意見和建議。
完整的資料庫列表可於以下鏈接查看：

對於停訂資料庫及更換問卷調查工具帶來的不便，我們深表歉意。如有任何疑問或建議，請隨時聯繫我們：lib_ref@um.edu.mo。
感謝您的關注與理解！
大學圖書館謹上
