Database Changes - effective July 1st

InfoTrac Onefile replaced by Academic Search Premier

In an effort to improve subject coverage and provide easier access to a variety of resources, we are switching from the InfoTrac Onefile product to Academic Search Premier as our major multi-disciplinary full-text database. Academic Search Premier is already available, and access to InfoTrac Onfile will end on June 30, 2006.

Academic Search Premier, is a scholarly, multi-disciplinary full text database with the full text for nearly 4,650 serials, including more than 3,600 peer-reviewed publications. In addition to the full text, this database offers indexing and abstracts for more than 8,200 journals in the collection. Subjects covered by this database include computer science, engineering, physics, chemistry, language and linguistics, arts & literature, medical sciences, ethnic studies, as well as general interest and popular, current-event topics.

Academic Search Premier includes PDF backfiles to 1975 or further for over one hundred journals, and searchable cited references are provided for more than 1,000 titles. The majority of full text titles are available in native (searchable) PDF, or scanned-in-color.
