This headline is incredibly misleading to the point of being an inflammatory lie. MLC (https://www.mlc.lib.ms.us/ https://www.mlc.lib.ms.us/) is a state body that helps library systems in the state with govt money. They have a tool called MAGNOLIA that gives public libraries, community colleges, and k12 schools access to scholarly databases like ebscohost. This article says that MAGNOLIA no longer provides access to those collections. Larger universities in the state don't use MAGNOLIA as they have (and pay for) their own access. No research is being deleted. Mississippi doesn't have the power to delete research in ebscohost. They're using a feature provided by ebscohost to exclude access to those collections. This is literally 2 bit flips in a database. https://connect.ebsco.com/s/article/Content-in-EBSCOhost-Databases-is-Diligently-Selected-by-Subject-Matter-Experts?language=en_US https://connect.ebsco.com/s/article/Content-in-EBSCOhost-Dat... However, if you have concerns about the material included in MAGNOLIA, you can request a review of the material on the MLC website: https://www.mlc.lib.ms.us/review/ https://www.mlc.lib.ms.us/review/
