New resources: Gale InfoTrac Power Packs

A page has been created and placed in the A-Z list of databases called Gale InfoTrac Power Packs. This page was based on information provided on the TEL website and 1024x768 provides links through the APSU Gale portal for several Gale InfoTrac PowerPacks (Individual Subject Collections) provided by TEL. I hope to eventually provide access to each individual resource through the A-Z list of databases. In the meantime, this page will provide access to the resources and allow them to be counted as part of APSU usage statistics instead of TEL. A link to this page has also been added to the Tennessee Electronic Library (TEL) Databases page and the General resource page.

The PowerPack page I created explains which databases the content in these subsets come from and specifies whether or not any unique content is provided. A link to a page with brief descriptions and title lists for each database is also provided.

I am in the process of adding these collections to Gold-Rush, so these titles will begin to appear in Find Periodicals and Article Linker searches as well.

New resources included on the PowerPack page that have not previously been available through the library website include:

Agriculture Collection

Business Economics and Theory

Culinary Arts Collection

Criminal Justice Collection

Communications and Mass Media Collection

Environmental Studies and Policy Collection
Fine Arts and Music Collection
Gardening, Landscape and Horticulture Collection
Home Improvement Collection

Nursing and Allied Health Collection

Psychology Collection

Popular Magazines

Hospitality, Tourism and Leisure Collection

Diversity Studies Collection

Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Collection

Pop Culture Collection

War & Terrorism Collection

World History Collection

GLBT Life and Issues Collection

US History Collection

Insurance and Liability Collection

Please let me know if you have questions.
