Database Changes


July 1, 2008

Computers and Applied Science Complete added

Hi,

Starting July 1, 2008, UMBC library switches from Applied Science and Technology Abstract (EBSCO) to Computers and Applied Science Complete (EBSCO). They are identical databases, but CASC has over 500 journals that are full-text.

Please let us know what you think. Thanks!


Credo Reference database cancelled July 1, 2008

Hi,

The library no longer subscribes to Credo Reference (used to be "Xrefer Plus"). Oxford Reference Online ( http://www.oxfordreference.com/) is now the replacement.

Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks,
June

Project MUSE introduces linked subject headings

Users of Project MUSE articles may have noticed an additional feature - "clickable" subject headings for each article, allowing fast and easyconnections to related content in Project MUSE. Built upon the rich controlled vocabulary classification of all MUSE articles and reviews with
Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) , this new functionality quickly connects scholars to
additional relevant content to enhance their research.
