Flipster being discontinued

Due to lack of financial support, Flipster will be discontinued when our subscription is up on March 31st.  I will be putting a notice on the Research pages during early February to let patrons know.  If you currently have it featured somewhere on your website, you’ll want to start thinking about what you might want to put in its place.
