A faculty member asked for a trial to the newspaper The Times of India. It's now available on the Database trials page.
Also available is a trial to Criminal Justice Abstracts from Ebsco. This database is migrating from Proquest to Ebsco. Proquest will be offering a competing product.
Ebsco will also be offering Econlit and Philosopher's Index, two products we currently get from Proquest. I believe we will still have the option of getting those two from Proquest.
In their on-going efforts to one-up each other each vendor is working on new features. NetLibrary books will be cross-searchable on the Ebsco platform sometime around the first of the year. Proquest is working to make all the Proquest, CSA, and Chadwyk-Healey (ABELL, LION) products cross-searchable on a new Google-like platform over the course of the next year.
