New Library E-Resources

In the library, we are continually working to expand and adapt our collection to better support student and faculty research. To this end, we recently added the following new resources to our collection:

Irish Newspaper Archives
Irish Newspaper Archives is a digital archive project dedicated to the complete digitization of Ireland’s newspaper heritage. The intent of this project is to render titles such as the Irish Independent (1905 – current), Sunday Independent, The Freeman’s Journal, the Nation and many of Ireland’s leading regional newspapers fully word searchable.

Digital microfilm for three major US newspapers
In addition to our existing access to Chicago Tribune, we now have digital microfilm access to the Washington Post, New York Times, Barron’s and the Wall Street Journal. This access extends from the beginning of 2008 until three months from the present. These collections can be viewed exactly like normal microfilm, but can be accessed online.

ReferenceUSA
This vast business directory of U.S. and Canadian companies allows user to identify potential employers by location and/or industry, research executives and track down addresses and phone numbers. It allows users to research new business opportunities and to profile a neighborhood, city or state.

Nursing & Allied Health Source
This database provides access to scholarly research literature, evidence-based information, reports, dissertations, electronic book chapters, reference sources and skils training in streaming video across a broad range of nursing, health, and wellness-related topics.

ProQuest: Upgrade to full Social Sciences Package
We recently upgraded our ProQuest subscription to include access to their full Social Science package. While we initially targeted this collection due to its strong coverage of Political Science content, this collection also provides us with access to a wealth of additional content.
