Bring back the Dictionary of National Biography to the DePaul Library!

Because of budget cuts, DePaul University's Richardson Library has stopped subscribing to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, (DNB) a foundational tool for the study of English and American Literature, History, Philosophy, and Political Science. We, the undersigned, would like to urge the library to reconsider this decision: we rely upon the DNB for our teaching, since it allows us to teach students how to conduct basic research. We also depend upon it for our own scholarship. Please bring back the online DNB to the Richardson Library!
