New database: PILOTS

On campus and remote access has now been provided through the list of all library databases and the psychology resource page to the PILOTS (Published International Literature On Traumatic Stress) database.

While the PILOTS bibliographic database is available for free through the National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder website, accessing this resource through the library website will give users the added option to easily discover if a journal listed in a citation is available online or in print at Woodward Library. To access this feature use the "Search for full text" links provided at the bottom of each citation.

Due to the purchase of PsycARTICLES, this version of the PILOTS database from ProQuest / CSA was provided to APSU at no additional charge.

New database: Academic Onefile

The Tennessee Electronic Library now includes the Thomson-Gale database Academic OneFile. Off campus and remote access has been provided to this resource in the list of all library databases.

Academic Onefile uses the familiar InfoTrac interface, but it offers more academic content than InfoTrac OneFile. It indexes 11,000 journals (7,000 not in InfoTrac Onefile) and offers full-text for 3500 peer-reviewed, full text articles. In addition, it offers transcripts from NPR, CNN, and the CBC; audio versions of every NPR broadcast since 1990; and full audio versions of all major medical journals. It also offers nearly 700 full-text CINAHL titles (More than 400 of these cannot be found in EBSCO's databases).

I used the overlap analysis tool within Serials Solutions to determine what new full-text journal titles Academic OneFile will provide APSU. There were 23 new titles and 3 journals with new full-text holdings. I have listed the unique titles and holdings below (this list does not include the numerous new titles indexed by Academic OneFile).

I will adding Academic OneFile to most of the library subject resource pages. Acrticle Linker and Find Periodicals products have been updated and these additions should be available by late Friday afternoon.
