As the scope of the Scientific Information Service continues to expand, we had to cut down on less used subscriptions, in particular to three online services in the fields of Materials Science and Engineering:

• Access to volumes 02.01, 02.02, 02.04, 03.01, 03.03, 05.03, 14.02 of the "Annual Book of ASTM Standards" has been discontinued as of 1 August 2017.
• The subscription to Springer Materials, an online database providing access to curated data in the fields of materials science, physics, chemistry, engineering and related areas, will be discontinued as of 31 December 2017.
• Access to e-books published in 2018 by the publisher Springer in the domain of Engineering will not be purchased by the Scientific Information Service.

Please don’t hesitate to send any feedback on this subject to library.desk@cern.ch.
