New Homer Upgrade

Posted on by

The Libraries’ Catalog HOMER has a new look that is more colorful and easier to navigate.  We’ve eliminated library lingo, added links to book covers and descriptions, and also included a feature that  provides you with a warning before you are timed out.  Your favorite features were left intact, allowing you various search strategies, direct links to Intercampus Express/Interlibrary Loans and Course Reserves, ability to renew books online, and more.

Take a look at our new upgraded page and send along any comments or suggestions, since we’re always looking for ways to make the catalog friendlier.

CINAHL with Full Text!

Posted on by

Thanks to ICONN, The UConn Libraries know have CINAHL with Full Text!

EBSCO says:  “CINAHL with Full Text is the world’s most comprehensive source of full text for nursing & allied health journals, providing full text for more than 580 journals indexed in CINAHL. Of those, 278 are not found with full text in any version of Academic Search, Health Source, or Nursing & Allied Health Collection. This authoritative file contains full text for many of the most used journals in the CINAHL index – with no embargo. With full-text coverage dating back to 1981, CINAHL with Full Text is the definitive research tool for all areas of nursing and allied health literature.”
