New Databases Keep on Coming!
VIVA, our statewide library consortium, continues to purchase new databases that all PVCC students, faculty, and staff can now access both on and off-campus. Check out these additions:
- Mergent Intellect - This brand-new database provides extensive information on private companies, both active and inactive. It also includes Whitepages Pro, which has residential contact information.
- Mergent Investext Snapshot - This database, also known as the Thomson Reuters Embargoed Research Collection, includes authoritative analyses of companies, industries, products, and markets that are written by analysts at investment banks and independent research firms. It can be found as a new tab within the Mergent Online platform.
- Oxford Journals - We have added 16 new e-journals, which brings our collection to approximately 150 e-journals published by Oxford. Most are in the areas of political science, history, and medicine.
- Advanced Technologies & Aerospace Collection - This new full-text database brings together the most comprehensive coverage in the areas of aeronautics, computer and information technology, electronics, communications, solid state devices, and space sciences.
- Earth Science Collection - This new full-text database provides access to articles in the earth sciences. It includes GeoRef, the most comprehensive database available in the geosciences.
- Engineering Collection - This new database expands our access from abstract-only engineering databases to full-text access for a wide range of journals in many different engineering disciplines.
Recently deleted abstract-only databases from ProQuest include: Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts (ASSIA), Mechanical Engineering Abstracts, PILOTS: Published International Literature on Traumatic Stress, Social Services Abstracts, and Sociological Abstracts.
