Another round of new and expanded resources:
—Kraus Curriculum Development Library: An index of over 6000 curriculum materials for K-12 and Adult Basic Education, more than 200 in full-text. Includes curriculum, standards, frameworks, educational objectives, instructional strategies, and evaluation techniques. (Updated monthly)
—American Periodicals Series Online: The publisher describes the resources: “This unique and valuable collection contains digitized images of the pages of American magazines and journals that originated between 1741, when Andrew Bradford’s American Magazine and Benjamin Franklin’s General Magazine were launched, and 1900. Deriving from the acclaimed American Periodicals Series microform collection, APS Online features over 1,100 periodicals spanning nearly 200 years-from colonial times to the advent of American involvement in World War II. Titles range from America’s first scientific journal, Medical Repository, to popular magazines like Vanity Fair and Ladies’ Home Journal.” See this longer description.
—CINAHL and Pre-CINAHL: The library has added access to CINAHL through EBSCOhost. CINAHL indexes articles on nursing and allied health from over 1,600 journals dating back to 1982. Pre-CINAHL provides access to articles that are being added to the CINAHL database. These are articles that do not yet have complete indexingt and that will be added to CINAHL upon indexing completion.
—MEDLINE: The library has also added EBSCOhost and Web of Science access to MEDLINE, each providing its own attendant extra features, such as linking between full-text in other EBSCO databases or Web of Science links to open source journals.
—IEEE Explore: Expanded access to IEEE has increased our access to over 120 full-text journals, as well as transactions, conference titles, and standards from 1988 to the present with some items going back as far as 1950.
