Graduated already? Great news. Columbia University Libraries has just added a new title to the list of online research databases we make available to alumni: EBSCO’s Business Source Premier. This database is a collection of nearly 1100 business magazines and journals in full text.
If you are an alum and have not already registered to gain access to the alumni databases, please see this page for more information.
The Institute for the Future of the Book (if:book) yesterday introduced a new electronic scholarly publishing project focused on media studies. Dubbed MediaCommons, the project is described as “a wide-ranging scholarly network … in which folks working in media studies can write, publish, review, and discuss, in forms ranging from the blog to the monograph, from the purely textual to the multi-mediated, with all manner of degrees in between.”
Among the possible “nodes” in this network will be electronic monographs, casebooks, journals, reference works, and forums. The announcement with more details — including the structural and intellectual reasons behind if:book’s choice of media studies for this scholarly publishing project — is at: http://www.futureofthebook.org/blog/archives/2006/07/introducing_mediacommons_or_ti.html
I have some great news for those looking to use the online archives of the New York Review of Books (which, as you may know, is not included in any of the databases to which Columbia Libraries subscribes): The Libraries now have an online subscription to the site itself, which includes full access to the archives, back to 1963!
