Ebsco has dropped the Clinical Pharmacology database and now provides the Lexi-PAL Drug Guide, which provides access to 1300 up-to-date, concise and clinically relevant drug monographs in the Health Source databases: Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition and Health Source: Consumer Edition.
Ebscohost database problems – PROBLEM FIXED

If you are not on campus, access will be restored when the problems are fixed.

Music Database Trials: TRIAL ENDED
OSU Libraries has a trial of several music databases produced by Alexander Street Press. These trials will run through April 11, 2007. The trial is IP-based and can be accessed from computers on the OSU campus in Corvallis.
Classical Music Library
Classical Music Library is a multi-label database of Classical music recordings for listening and learning in libraries. Coverage of repertoire is increasing as new labels are added (currently over 32 labels), with a particular focus on content that meets the needs of educators and students. Includes biographical material on composers.
African American Song
African American Song documents the history of African American music in an online music listening service. The collection contains a diverse range of genres such as jazz, blues, gospel, ragtime, folk songs, and narratives, among others. It features some 16,000 tracks of great historical recordings from Document Records. This great collection features recordings from the first half of the 20th century and includes iconic artists such as The Fisk Jubilee Singers, Memphis Minnie, Blind Willie McTell and Huddie Ledbetter.
Smithsonian Global Sound
Smithsonian Global Sound includes the published recordings owned by the non-profit Smithsonian Folkways Recordings label and the archival audio collections of the legendary Folkways Records, Cook, Dyer-Bennet, Fast Folk, Monitor, Paredon and other labels. It also includes music recorded around the African continent by Dr. Hugh Tracey for the International Library of African Music (ILAM) at Rhodes University as well as material collected by recordists on the South Asian subcontinent from the Archive Research Centre for Ethnomusicology (ARCE), sponsored by the American Institute for Indian Studies.
New Enhancements to Open WorldCat
Open WorldCat has added two new features:
SORTING SEARCH RESULTS
Web users who perform searches at WorldCat.org can now sort results using several indices. By default, search results are returned sorted by relevance. Additionally, users can now sort by author (alphabetical by last name), title (alphabetical), and date (newest-to-oldest and oldest-to-newest).
Result sorting joins the recently added “Refine Your Search” faceted browse feature in providing users the ability to better examine large result sets.
CITATION FEATURE HELPS STUDENTS AND RESEARCHERS
Item records in WorldCat’s open-Web interface now include a “Cite this Item” link that provides bibliographic citations in five common styles: APA, Chicago, Harvard, MLA and Turabian. Displayed in a separate pop-up window, the citations follow the reference standard for each style.
The citations window cautions users that “formatting rules within a style can vary widely between applications and fields of interest or study,” and that they should apply the specific requirements of a reviewing body.
Database trial: Cabell’s Directories – TRIAL ENDED
A trial has been set up for Cabell’s directories for Educational Curriculum & Methods and Educational Psychology & Administration. These are directories for the respective fields which provide current contact information (addresses, phone, e-mail and websites) for a large number of journals. Also, the directories include information on publication guidelines and review information when available.
The directories are intended to help users select those journals that are most likely to publish their manuscript. To further assist in organizing and preparing manuscripts, each directory includes extensive information on the style and format of most journals. Furthermore, each directory describes the type of review process used by the editor(s) of a journal, number of reviewers, acceptance rate, time required for review, availability of reviewers’ comments, fees charged to review or publish the manuscript, copies required and manuscript topics.
Trial ends March 2, 2007
To access the trial, please get the login and password from your Library Subject Specialist. The URL for the trial is http://www.cabells.com. Click on the Members link on the lower left and enter the login and password to access the directories.
Electronic Journals 2007: Blackwell Synergy
In 2007, OSU libraries’ subscriptions to Blackwell publishing titles will be moving to electronic journal subscriptions. This will significantly increase the coverage available online. While OSU libraries have had electronic access to Blackwell journals since 2002, our access has been limited to the most recent 2 years worth of issues. In 2007, our subscriptions will expand to four more years worth of issues, back to 2002. OSU Libraries currently subscribes to 238 Blackwell journals.
