New(er) Stuff Tuesday – January 29

Today’s featured stuff is actually something that we got back in April – ScienceDirect College Edition from Elsevier. Recently (and without much notice or fanfare), our subscription greatly expanded. When we first acquired ScienceDirect, our collection included the most current four years of over 1900 journals. That’s not too shabby, especially since Elsevier published many of the top scholarly journals in a number of areas.

We now have access to all of the articles, in electronic full text format, for those journal titles back to 1995! That means that you can read more than eight million articles online! Wow!

You can get to articles from ScienceDirect by searching the collection directly (go to FindDatabases from the Library’s home page). The articles also come up in searches in EBSCOhost, Proquest and databases from other providers – just use the Find It! link to access them!
