Reference at Newman Library

We are experiencing problems with remote access to this database at this time. Saad is investigating. On-campus access is fine.

I am working on getting us back on.

EBSCO has launched its own federated search, EBSCOhost Integrated Search, and we have a trial. It is in the list of databases under EBSCOhost Integrated Search. At present it is “out of the box” but will probably change as we play with it, but only the databases provided by CUNY are part of this trial. If you have comments or suggestions, or care to compare with Bearcat, that would be appreciated.

We have added the Oxford English Dictionary to our list of databases. English word definitions, word pronunciation, word history and usage.

More information can be found in their wiki.

Serials Solutions products have a downtime scheduled from noon to 6pm on Saturday, October 24. This will affect our full-text list of e-journals and Bearcat.

We are experiencing problems accessing Hoover’s at this time. I am looking into it. Thank you for your patience.

SRDS is uprading this weekend, Oct. 16-Oct. 18. Parts of it may be unavailable during that time.

Today is the last day to comment on this trial.

We have a CUNY-wide trial to all 10 collections provided by Books 24×7. The collections are listed in the database page. Comments and discussions are appreciated.
