Changes to Gale resources

On July 1, Scribner Writers Series( http://ezproxy.lib.apsu.edu/login?url=http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/tel_a_apsu?db=Scribner ) and Twayne's Authors Series (http://ezproxy.lib.apsu.edu/login?url=http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/tel_a_apsu?db=Twayne) will no longer be available in their current database format.

They are both now available as a collection within the Gale Virtual Reference Library. In addition, they will no longer be able to be searched within the Literature Resource Center (http://library.apsu.edu/inform/21LitResCent.htm). However, they will be able to be cross‐searched with Literature Resource Center and other literature resources in Literature Resources from Gale (http://library.apsu.edu/inform/21litresourcesGale.htm) .

I have made all necessary changes to the info pages for each resource on the library website.

Below are the direct links for the new collections in GVRL:

New resource: Education in Video

On-campus and remote access is now available for Education in Video. It is available on the list of all databases, the Education resource page, and the multimedia resources page.

Education in Video is the first online collection of streaming video developed specifically for training and developing teachers. More than 1,000 video titles totaling 750+ hours of teaching demonstrations, lectures, documentaries, and primary-source footage of students and teachers in actual classrooms give education students a way to observe the intricacies of behavior, tone, facial expression, and body language that define effective teaching styles.

Biological Abstracts has now been upgraded to the updated Thomson Web of Knowledge interface

This is the one that was demonstrated by the Thomson rep. in 114 a few weeks ago.

There are a few upgrades, but not a huge change.

The info page has been updated: http://library.apsu.edu/inform/21BioAbstracts.htm

More info and training options for the new interface are available at:

It is a rich survey of human history from the earliest civilizations to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

New journals: JSTOR Arts & Sciences IX

Journals in the JSTOR Arts & Sciences IX collection have now been added to our existing JSTOR collections. The JSTOR info page link at http://library.apsu.edu/inform/21JSTORlist.htm has been updated with this information and I have activated this resource in Gold Rush so the included journals will show up in Find Periodicals and Article Linker searches.

JSTOR Arts & Sciences IX: With a minimum of 150 titles available by the end of 2012, the Arts & Sciences IX Collection widens JSTOR’s coverage in business and the social sciences. Journals from over 25 countries provide outstanding international diversity, and rare materials bring unique depth to the collection, with research covering archaeology, anthropology, sociology, business, economics, population studies, and political science.

An overview of this collection, a current title list, and an upcoming title list are available at http://about.jstor.org/content-collections/journals/arts-sciences-ix .

New databases: AHL and Historical Abstracts full-text

America: History and Life and Historical Abstracts have now been upgraded to the full-text versions on the library website. Both resources add full-text journals and books to the previously existing citation indexes.

America: History & Life with Full Text provides full-text coverage of more than 225 journals and nearly 85 books. A link to the title list is provided on the info page at http://library.apsu.edu/inform/21AHL.htm

Historical Abstracts with Full Text provides access to the full text of more than 349 journals and more than 120 books. A list of titles is provided at http://library.apsu.edu/inform/21HistAbs.htm

I have activated these resources in Gold Rush, so titles should be returned in Article Linker and Find Periodicals searches.
