New database: European Views of the Americas: 1493 to 1750

European Views of the Americas: 1493 to 1750 is now available from the library website for on campus and remote access. It is on the A-Z list, the US History resources page, and the World History resources page.

This database is a comprehensive guide to printed records about the Americas written in Europe before 1750. It was derived from the seminal reference work European Americana: A Chronological Guide to Works Printed in Europe Relating to the Americas, 1493-1750. A wide range of subject areas are covered; from natural disasters to disease outbreaks and slavery.

This is a free resource that was recently provided by EBSCO.

New database: American Periodicals Series Online

On-campus and remote access has been provided on the A-Z list of databases and the U.S History resource page to American Periodicals Series Online. It uses the ProQuest interface.

APS Online includes digitized images of the pages of American magazines and journals published from colonial days to the dawn of the 20th century. Titles range from Benjamin Franklin's General Magazine and America's first scientific journal, Medical Repository; popular magazines such as Vanity Fair and Ladies' Home Journal; regional and niche publications; and groundbreaking journals like The Dial, Puck, and McClure's.

The sample search page available at the bottom of the info page will give you an idea how this database can be utilized.

Journals contained within this resource will now show up in Find Periodicals and "Search for Full-text" links.

Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY) with Tests in Print

Our subscription to Mental Measurements Yearbook is now provided by EBSCO and hosted on the EBSCOhost interface. This replaces the previous subscription we had through Ovid/Silver Platter.

With this change in vendor, we will also have access to an electronic version of Tests in Print incorporated into the database. Below is a comparison these two resources:

• MMY consists of descriptive entries, references and critical reviews of commercially published tests, published in English. Each MMY includes reviews of tests that are new or substantially revised since the previous edition.
• TIP is a comprehensive volume describing every test that is currently available for purchase.
• Not all tests and measures are reviewed in MMY and there are somewhat firm requirements that tests must meet to be featured.
• Because not all tests are reviewed in MMY, TIP is necessary to identify and locate tests which are available and in print, but not widely popular or used enough to be featured in MMY.
