New Databases & Trial Database

Medicine Hat College Library Services has recently added two new database resources to its holdings. The databases are Gale's Academic OneFile and EBSCO's Business Source Complete. The Book Index with Reviews (also from EBSCO) is a trial database that is available until June 2007.

Academic OneFile is a large general database that provides indexing, citation, and abstracts for more than 9,000 periodical publication. More than 5,000 of these titles are available in full-text. This database also provides full-text coverage from the New York Times since 1995.

Business Source Complete is the largest collection of full-text business journals that is currently available. It includes searchable cited references from 1,200 academic journals. Indexing and abstracts from some of the journals date back to 1886.

The Book Index with Reviews is a trial database that offers information on hundreds-of-thousnads of books. Books reviews accompany some of the entries.

Academic OneFile and Business Source Complete are among some of the initial offerings from the Lois Hole Campus Alberta Digital Library. It is because of our partnership with The Alberta Library (TAL) that we can offer home users (staff and students) access to these resources.
