General OneFile: This general periodical database contains over 12,000 periodicals, newspapers, reference books and multimedia sources, over half of which are full text. The backfile extends nearly 30 years. Subjects include humanities, education, environmental issues, technology, health care, politics and more.
Health Reference Center Academic: This health database includes over 2800 journals and magazines, many of which are full text. It contains nursing and allied health journals, other medical journals, newsletters and consumer health magazines.
Database Choices
Products were competitively selected to provide the broadest array of desired content for the best value given current resources. Consideration of comments from the field and priority subjects were weighed in the decision.
The selected general periodical offer (Gale) meets the topical needs expressed in user surveys at an affordable cost, while the health database fulfills the field’s desire for more health content.
Access to Times Inc. and Forbes Inc. Publications
Gale will continue providing indexing to Times Inc. and Forbes publications
in General OneFile and/or Academic OneFile and is working to identify ways
to link users to the full-text freely available via their websites, when allowed.
Full text for Time Inc. publications will continue to be added to Gale databases
until January 2011.
