Please Tell Us What You Think: September Trials 2011

Our purpose is to regularly seek faculty, staff, and student opinions of new electronic resources which the library could potentially offer.

ProQuest Environmental Science Collection

NO LONGER AVAILABLE

One of the gaps in our electronic resources is that we don't offer a database that focuses on the environment and ecology.  How urgently do you think we need one?  What do you think of this one?

If this were available through the library please tell us whether and how you would use it.

Please leave comments.  Especially let us know if you would use it for particular courses.

AtoZdatabases

NO LONGER AVAILABLE

For years there has been a popular and massive directory/marketing database call ReferenceUSA which the library could not afford.  Recently AtoZdatabases came into being to compete directly with ReferenceUSA and is considerably more affordable.  It includes 30 million business profiles & 220 million residents and is updated biweekly.
