NEW DATABASES:

I am pleased to announce that the Library now has access to two additional JSTOR collections as well as the Ebsco database, Health Policy Reference Center.     Please see the descriptions below:   

Arts & Sciences VIII
The Arts & Sciences VIII Collection broadens JSTOR's coverage of core humanities disciplines including history, language & literature, art & art history, and education. This collection also includes a group of rare 19th and early 20th century American Art periodicals digitized as part of a special project undertaken with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Frick Collection, and the Brooklyn Museum of Art. This collection also includes journals in philosophy, classical studies, and music. 

Arts & Sciences IX
With a minimum of 150 titles available by the end of 2012, the Arts & Sciences IX Collection widens JSTOR’s coverage in business and the social sciences.  Journals from over 25 countries provide outstanding international diversity, and rare materials bring unique depth to the collection, with research covering archaeology, anthropology, sociology, business, economics, population studies, and political science.  

Health Policy Reference Center
The Health Policy Reference Center is a full-text database indexing more than 375 publications that address health policy and health care. It covers a range of subject areas, such as health care administration, financing, insurance, and law as well as health and medical ethics, social medicine, public health, and much more.
