New databases from Gale

Three new databases from Gale have been added to our collection. All three of these were provided by the Tennessee Electronic Library and are now available from the list of all databases. All contain the ability to direct export into RefWorks (see instructions here).

Southern Life is a database created specifically for SOLINET members. It has been made available through the US History subject page.

InfoTrac Science is a database created specifically for the Tennessee State Library and Archives and is only available through TEL. It has been made available through the Biology and Agriculture subject pages.

The above databases may contain journal titles that overlap with titles from our existing resources. At this time, there is no easy way to discover how many unique titles are contained in each one. Since these are custom databases, they are not yet available in the Serials Solutions knowledge base. This also means that journals from these databases will not show up in Article Linker or Find Periodicals searches.

InfoTrac Custom Newspapers contains full-text for over 50 newspapers not previously available within our collection. A list of these unique titles with coverage dates can be found here. A link to this resource has been included on the News and Current Events subject page. These titles will soon appear in Article Linker and Find Periodicals searches.

Please let me know if you have any questions concerning these new resources.
