GO Bond 2 – What is it and how does it affect us?

As we all start to look at what is on the ballot for the upcoming election, I wanted to take a moment to talk about General Obligation Bond 2 (GO Bond 2), f/k/a GO Bond B, and how it affects library users at UNM.

What does this mean to you?

The $0.82 over ten years for property owners, will allow libraries to acquire and license resources that individuals would not otherwise be able to access. For example, CINAHL is a core resource for nursing and allied health sciences degree programs like Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Medical Laboratory Sciences, and the imaging professions. It is imperative to our students’ pursuing degrees in these fields.  The New Mexico Coalition of Academic Libraries (NMCAL) subscribes to this resource on behalf of academic libraries in New Mexico, significantly reducing the cost for each member institution.  Individual subscriptions to these resources would be extremely costly and highly unlikely.

Without the GO Bond 2022, HSLIC would not have been able to provide access to as many valuable eresources including but not limited to:
