Dear Community:
The following databases have been purchased with the Title III funds in support of teaching and learning:
OCLC FirstSearch A group of related databases that allows users to locate books, dissertations, magazine and journal articles, electronic books and audiovisual media in libraries worldwide. Currently, the only resources available full-text in FirstSearch are selected electronic books.
MLA International Bibliography (An EBSCO Database) MLA International Bibliography is an index of journal articles, books and dissertations. Produced by the Modern Language Association, the electronic version of the Bibliography dates back to 1963 and contains over 1.7 million citations from more than 4,400 journals and series and 1,000 book publishers. Coverage is international and subjects include literature, language and linguistics, folklore, literary theory & criticism, dramatic arts, as well as the historical aspects of printing and publishing.
CQ Researcher Provides in-depth analysis about the most current and controversial issues of the day. Contains full text articles on social, political, economic, and international issues.
JSTOR Health and General Sciences Collection This database includes several of the most important scientific journals including such titles as American Journal of Nursing, Journal of Community Nursing, Environmental Health Perspectives, PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences), and the publications of the Royal Society of London with some journals reaching back to the seventeenth century. In September 2006 the General Science Collection was renamed the Health & General Sciences Collection to reflect the inclusion of ten to fifteen journals in the health sciences. Because of JSTOR (NEW)'s archival mission, there is a gap, typically from 1 to 5 years, between the most recently published journal issues and the back issues available in JSTOR (NEW).

October eBook of the Month:
The Facts, the Fiction, and the Fear Driving the Greatest Scientific, Political, and Religious Debate of Our Time
There has been much recent debate about the merits, dangers, and nature of stem cell research. Some see in it the answer to every debilitating disease known to man, while others see it as a step away from human cloning.
In the search for the truth about stem cell science, the author of the October eBook of the Month has interviewed the scientists whose cutting-edge research is at the very heart of this hot-button issue. This eBook explains what they have accomplished so far, what they’re currently doing, and what they see on the horizon.
The Stem Cell Divide does not take sides, and the author debunks the distortions and exaggerations that come from every camp. This eBook does not tell readers what to think, but gives them the facts necessary to form their own opinions about one of the most divisive, complex, and potentially life-changing developments in history.
Tthe October eBook of the Month is provided through the generous support of AMACOM Books and will be available to the Mount Aloysius College community with free, unlimited access October 1-31 through the Library webpage (on Library home page click Library Databases and scroll down to OCLC NetLibrary and eBook of the Month) or by following this link: http://www.netlibrary.com
