New
for Spring 2002! - Visitors to the Library's website this spring will find that the Find Articles & More
section of the site has a completely new look.
The new Find
Articles & More features the same alphabetical listing of
databases we have all come to know and love, but it is slimmed down in
size to load into your browser more quickly. There are links from the page
to both our online catalog (OPAC) and to an online list of full-text
electronic journal subscriptions available to CSUF faculty, students &
staff.
Check out these
features of the new Find Articles & More alphabetical database list:
|
| Uniform
Database Description Sheets - Have you ever looked in an
online database for a journal article only to find nothing on your
topic? It happens. Maybe the database you searched doesn't
cover that particular subject or maybe you are looking for a book and the
database only indexes journal articles. Whatever the reason,
learning about the content of a database before you spend valuable time
searching it is well worth your while.
To aid you in this
task, the new Find Articles & More includes database
description sheets for each database. Description sheets include
information on subjects covered by the database, types of materials
indexed, the dates of coverage, links to lists of journals included in the
database, and other valuable information you should know before starting
your research.
To see these
description sheets, click on the title of any database on either the databases by title or databases by
department/major pages.

| Recommended Databases by Department/Major - The Pollak Library subscribes
to more than one hundred electronic databases, making it difficult
sometimes to determine by simply looking at the alphabetical listing which
database is the best for a particular research need. The new Find
Articles & More includes a listing of databases for each academic
discipline. Lists were prepared by Pollak Library
instruction/reference librarians who ranked databases in order of
relevancy to a particular department/major.

We hope you will take
some time to familiarize yourself with the new Find Articles & More
and that it will make your research at the Pollak Library a more pleasant
experience. |
