Library Expands Database Offerings

Badgerlink is celebrating its 10th Anniversary. It supplies Wisconsin universities, schools, libraries and all residents with access to many article and newspaper databases. Three major resources that are part of our library's holdings from EbscoHost were upgraded over the summer.

Academic Search Premier, an upgrade of Academic Search Elite, covers a broad range of academic disciplines and offers full-text access to an additional 2,500 journal titles. Business Source Premier, an upgrade of Business Source Elite offers full text of over 2,000 business journals, as well as market research reports, industry reports, company profiles and SWOT analyses. Newspaper Source Plus includes full text for over 1,500 papers including the New York Times, Boston Globe, Christian Science Monitor and the Chicago Tribune.

On a not so positive note, the subscription to Proquest National and Wisconsin newspapers was cancelled by Badgerlink. A majority of the newspapers covered are included in the Ebsco upgrades, but an analysis of possible replacement of the lost coverage is underway.
