updated EBSCO interface
Several existing resources were upgraded over the summer:
With the launch of the new SAIS website, the Library revamped its home page. You'll now find shortcuts to ten of our most popular resources. These shortcuts have replaced direct links to some of our "families" of databases (CSA, EBSCO, Proquest, and WilsonWeb), but you can still find links to the families by clicking on the Key Databases for Research link on the homepage. We hope that you'll find it a useful place to get started with your research.
Other database upgrades:
EBSCOHost databases, among our most heavily used online resources, have a new look, with multiple new features and more in the works. More details are available on the EBSCO website.
FindIt, also known as the Journal Linker, has been enhanced with:
- A request button to get a book from another JHU campus when you find a book listed in one of our databases.
- Added book content from amazon.com (excerpts, table of contents, index, etc.)
To see an example, go to WorldCat, search End of Poverty by Jeffrey Sachs and click on the FindIt icon after opening the book's full record.
Soc Index has been cancelled due to overlap with Sociological Abstracts.
The World Bank e-Library, offering full text access to thousands of World Bank publications, continues to add to its back files. A notable addition is the annual World Development Report, now available to all of JHU starting with its first volume in 1978! (Hey, librarians get excited about these things!)
