We already love Project Muse for recent journal content, but very soon we will also have the opportunity to fall in love with Project Muse all over again – this time with eBooks! Earlier this year Project Muse announced it would be adding an eBook component to its database. Expected to launch in early 2012, the eBook content is projected to exceed 12,000 unique eBook titles, all searchable simultaneously within the existing journal content.
Ohrstrom Library is pleased to share its most recent digital purchase: the Illustrated London News Archive. This database provides access to the complete London Illustrated News from 1842 – 2003.
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica the Illustrated London News was London’s first illustrated periodical and the first to use photographs. This title is noted for its coverage of global events.
The default search is keyword: keyword will look for search terms in the title and author fields.
To search the entire full-text of all newspaper articles, simply change the radio button to ‘entire document.’
Please feel free to contact Ms. Sanborn (lsanborn at sps dot edu) with any questions about or to arrange for a personal tour of this product.
The e-journal finder will not only identify if and where particular titles can be found, it will also link to that same title as housed within the associated database(s).
Several folks have inquired recently about accessing the New York Times via library resources.
Presumably, this is due to recent changes in access-related policy at the New York Times.
The full archive is no longer freely available on the NYTs website. Currently, those with an existing print subscription have full access to online content. Personal digital-only subscriptions are also offered. Those without any subscription may view up to 20 articles per month.
The library’s Proquest Periodicals subscription will provide access to the NYTimes (East Coast edition). This is the fastest way to get there: Click HERE.
Although it does look/navigate differently than the old NYTimes.com interface, the article content is the same.
If you are off-campus & need access to this resource, please take the following steps:
Login in to vpn.sps.edu using your SPS username and password.
Click the Ohrstrom Library link.
Select Proquest Periodicals from the database menu (see below):
Once in Proquest Periodicals, use the Publications search tool to locate the New York Times:
