New Library Database: TableBase
TableBase is a database comprised of tabular information of a strategic nature. Many of the table records also have textual content which supports the data in the tables.
The tables provide information such as: market share, market size, capacity, production, imports, exports, sales, product and brand rankings, forecasts, healthcare statistics and demographics.
Tables are drawn from the more than 1000 sources that go into the Business & Industry database and from statistical annuals, brokerage reports, trade associations reports, and governmental reports. The contents of the table is indexed– not the text that may accompany the table.
Search by keyword at the top of the search screen or use categories from menus, or both. Categories include about 100 industry terms; marketing terms, such as “loyalty” and “brand equity;” concept terms; SIC and geographic regions.
AccuNet/AP Multimedia Archive down
The libraries database access to AP is down at the moment; it is prompting users for a username and password. The vendor has been contacted and we hope the problem will be resolved shortly.
The AccuNet/AP Multimedia Archive is an electronic library containing the Associated Press’s current photos and a selection of pictures from their 50 million image print and negative library.

Google Scholar
Google announces Google Scholar, a search tool which, in Google’s words, “enables you to search specifically for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research. Use Google Scholar to find articles from a wide variety of academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories and universities, as well as scholarly articles available across the web.”
How does it work? Go to Google Scholar at http://scholar.google.com/, and enter a search such as salmon “endangered species act”. Your results will include links to full-text articles in journals and online that you may or may not have access to. If you are on-campus, and the library has a subscription to that publisher, you will generally be able to access the article.
If nothing else, Google Scholar has now provided you a citation to with which to work. UConn faculty and students can gain access – online or in print – to many of these articles by turning to our eJournal Locator.
Results come in two flavors: Direct links to articles and links to articles in which your search was cited.
