Libraries Link to ScienceDirect and ARTstor
By Beth Brown & Alesia McManus
The
State University of New York is partially subsidizing a recently negotiated
multi-campus agreement with Elsevier for a five-year license to their ScienceDirect
online journal package. ScienceDirect provides journal content from Elsevier,
Pergamon, Harcourt, and Academic Press in the sciences, medicine, and engineering,
business and economics, the social sciences, education, and the arts and humanities.
As of January 1, 2005, full-text electronic journal coverage is available from 1995 to the present for 1836 titles (nearly all journals in ScienceDirect). According to this new agreement, SUNY Libraries will receive all journal issues in electronic form (PDF and HTML formats) in lieu of print issues.
A brochure with search tips is available in the Libraries. Contact your library liaison or subject librarian for more details about accessing ScienceDirect from your office or off campus and to learn how to use its personalized alert services to keep abreast of new journal content.
SUNY
Central is also providing financial support for other new digital products
including ARTstor,
a database of approximately 300,000 art images encompassing architecture,
painting, sculpture, photography, decorative arts and material culture. To
access ScienceDirect and ARTstor, go to the Libraries' web page for Databases
and Journal Indexes.
