JStor has vastly improved its search capabilities. The new search form (called “Article Locator”) is at http://www.jstor.org/search/ArticleLocatorSearch. It’s similar to, but nicer than, their “Advanced Search.”

The Article Locator is a new search form that allows you to find a specific article in an easy, fill-in-the-blank form. To locate a single article, enter as much information as you have from an article reference or citation. The form will search multiple fields of a citation simultaneously, such as author name, article title, journal title, volume/issue information, year, etc. If an exact match to your citation cannot be found, you will be presented with search results that most closely match the citation entered.

Access UConn Database: JSTOR

Just a quick update on some new databases available in CSA and EBSCO:

—CSA—
GeoRef
Philosopher’s Index
PAIS (current & archive)

to access any or all of these resources

—EBSCO—
Ageline
Library Literature
RILM
SPORTDiscus

to access any or all of these resources

The University of Connecticut Libraries purchases online access to over 30,000 journals through various databases and journal providers. Use the eJournal Locator to determine if a title is available online and to connect to the database or online journal directly.

As you search our library databases you will notice what was once labeled [UConn FullText?] will now be called UConn Links (see new button below).

We will be seeing some changes to our subscribed databases come the end of July. Wilson OmniFile and Wilson Biological and Agricultural Index will be taken down, and the following EBSCO products will be officially available for our users 8/1/05:

Academic Search FullTEXT Premier
ERIC
EconLit
MasterFILE FullTEXT Premier
MLA (available since 7/1/05-)
NTIS
Professional Development Collection
Religion and Philosophy Collection
GLBT Life with Full Text
Computer source
Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection

There will be a month overlap with existing interfaces for the following databases, EconLit (SilverPlatter), and NTIS (SilverPlatter). Then SilverPlatter will disappear for these two databases.

And finally, these changes will effect out Homer records, A-Z journals list and Link FinderPlus. We are trying to coordinate the changes as best we can but there may be some glitches along the way. Individual titles may not appear/disappear from A-Z list of Homer exactly on target…but we’ll keep you posted along the way.

Important information for users of these databases through SilverPlatter…. As of July 31st, these database will no longer be accessible via the SilverPlatter platform.
Please note: when access will be available solely through the EbscoHOST platform.
