Calling all faculty! Please join us at the library this Wednesday, September 16, from 1-2pm for a workshop:
Getting the Most from EBSCO Article Databases
The City Tech Library subscribes to more than 20 EBSCO article databases covering a wide range of scholarly and professional subjects. During this workshop you’ll learn strategies to help you search these databases more effectively. We’ll also review EBSCO’s research productivity tools, from keeping lists of search results to emailing articles to creating search and journal publication alerts.
The workshop will be held in the library classroom, Rm A540. RSVP to Maura Smale at msmale@citytech.cuny.edu or 718.260.5748. Hope to see you there!

New in the library: ProQuest Platinum and Encyclopedia Americana.
ProQuest Platinum currently has 1510 periodicals.
New to our databases and other electronic resources:
ECCO (Eighteenth Century Collections Online)–Very large collection of books from the 18th century in a variety of European languages.
Making of the Modern World–Works of literature on economic and business published from 1450 through 1850.
Economist–Historical archive of The Economist from 1843-2003.
Seems like every vendor is jumping on the “new interface” wagon. Project MUSE “offers full text access to current content from nearly 400 high quality journals in the humanities and social sciences. A highlight of MUSE’s new web site is wider range of functionality at the individual journal article level, including the ability to email a link, find more articles from the same author(s), and share the article via popular social bookmarking services. Color indicators allow users to easily determine to which content they have full text access, at both the journal and article level.”
