These databases contain the usual full academic journal titles but in some cases the publisher has supplmented the journal content with e-books. The volume of e-books is small at the moment but we would expect this to increase over time as the collection is developed. These e-books are generally reference items - encyclopedias and dictionaries - that supplement the journal articles. This is part of a push on the part of database publishers to create subject 'portals' for research in specific discipline areas.
What follows is a list of the some of the new databases. The title will link you to the database itself so that you can begin searching. Off-campus users will be asked to login with their webmail login before they can access the database.
A full set of title lists for the databases can be found here.
