New research databases available

OhioLINK is constantly striving to provide the strongest portfolio of research resources possible, within our budgetary limitations, to support Ohio higher education's teaching, learning and research needs. In order to better achieve this goal, the OhioLINK community has agreed to cancel some database subscriptions and use those funds to upgrade current subscriptions and subscribe to new databases beginning July 1, 2006. As a result of these changes, we will be able to cost-effectively provide you with more full-text resources across a broader array of disciplines.

The following new databases are now available:

• AGRICOLA,
• Bibliography of Native North Americans,
• Computers & Applied Sciences Complete,
• Economia y Negocios,
• Education Research Complete,
• Environment Complete,
• Evidence-Based Complementary Medicine (coming soon),
• Film & Television FTLI (coming late 2006)
• Fuente Academica,
• Garden, Landscape & Horticulture Index,
• Gender Studies Database,
• GLBT Life,
• Gongwer News Service,
• Insurance Periodicals Index,
• International Political Science Abstracts,
• Legal Collection,
• Literary Reference Center,
• MedicLatina,
• SPORTDiscus,
• Vente et Gestion
• and Women'’s Studies International.

In addition, you will be able to access more full text, thanks to upgrades of several current database:

• Academic Search Complete (coming in 2007),
• Business Source Complete,
• CINAHL Plus,
• Humanities International Complete,
• International Bibliography of Theater and Dance (with full text),
• Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts (with full text),
• and SocINDEX (with full text).

We no longer subscribe to the following datababases as of July 1: Applied Science & Technology Abstracts, Biography Index, Biological & Agricultural Index, Book Review Digest, Business & Industry, Contemporary Authors, Contemporary Women'’s Issues, Education Abstracts, Essay & General Literature Index, Humanities Abstracts, Index to Legal Periodicals and Books, Library Literature, Ohio Capitol Connection and Worldwide Political Science Abstracts.

These changes have been made on our web site. Please contact Andrew Whitis if you have questions or would like to schedule an instruction session for your class
