Try New Business Information Sources…
…and tell us what you think.
As we build the collections of the UI Libraries, subject specialist librarians work with faculty across campus to acquire the best possible scholarly resources available in the discipline. In the case of online indexes, we often can provide access to the resource for a limited time, so UI faculty, staff and students can try it out.
This spring, we are trying a new database Business Source Complete. As part of the comprehensive coverage offered by this database, indexing and abstracts for the most important scholarly business journals back as far as 1886 are included. In addition to the searchable cited references provided for more than 1,200 journals, Business Source Complete contains detailed author profiles for the 20,000 most-cited authors in the database.
Another trial underway is EconLit with Full Text. This database contains all of the content available in EconLit, plus full text for more than 400 publications including titles from the American Economic Association (all with no embargo), such as: American Economic Review, Journal of Economic Literature, and Journal of Economic Perspectives.
Both of these database trials will be active until May 1, 2007. After working with the databases, if you have comments, please send them to Dave Martin, Head of the Pomerantz Business Library.
You can find more information about current and previous Resources Under Evaluation on the Libraries’ website. You may also contact, Ed Shreeves, Associate University Librarian & Director of Collections & Content Development, with questions or comments.
