Newsworthy updates to our e-resources

JSTOR – additional content now available

jstor_logo

We now subscribe to JSTOR Arts & Sciences XIII and Arts & Sciences XIV packages.

The Arts & Sciences XIII Collection adds an increasingly international set of journals in disciplines including Language & Literature, Art & Art History, Philosophy, and Religion. Represented subdisciplines include European church history and the literature of the American West.  The collection offers a global scope. European countries including Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands each contribute several titles, with an additional title published in South Korea, the Journal of Korean Religions.  The collection will contain at least 125 titles by completion.

The Arts & Sciences XIV Collection brings together more than 125 journals devoted to the study of culture and communication, from civilization’s earliest traces to the growth and governance of peoples. All titles are new to the JSTOR platform at the time of launch. Journals in the collection span 17 countries, 23 disciplines, and date back to 1839. They are drawn primarily from the fields of Archaeology, Language & Literature, Communications Studies, Asian Studies, and Political Science.  As this collection was only released last month, not all titles are online yet – these will be added to our catalogue/A-Z list as they become available.

See http://www.jstor.org/action/collectionsAvailable for title lists.  We have added the individual e-journals currently available to our e-journal A-Z list and they will be added to our catalogue/searcher soon.

AAAS/Science Classic now available

SCL_subscip_Access_Logo-150x180Jisc has partnered with AAAS to provide institutions of higher and further education in the United Kingdom with sitewide access to Science Classic, the digital archives of Science (1880-1996).

Science Classic delivers more than a century’s worth of full-text content from the annals of the world’s largest general scientific journal. The archives are fully integrated with the current content of Science which makes it easier to search the entire collection.

Our e-journal A-Z list has been updated to reflect this extra content.
