NEW DATABASES

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).
