Changes to Sciences and Mathematics Related Databases

Over the next few weeks we will be releasing information regarding changes to the databases that Grasselli Library provides to John Carroll University. If you have any questions, please contact the library liaison in the appropriate subject area or call the Reference Desk (x4234).

Changes to Sciences and Mathematics Related Databases

Grasselli Library, along with the other OhioLINK members, now has access to two new databases from Ebsco, Agricola and Garden, Landscape and Horticultural Index. These replace Applied Science and Technology Abstracts and Biological and Agricultural Index. Also from Ebsco, we have Environment Complete containing all of the content available in Environment Index, as well as full text for 400 journals, including many of the most used journals in the discipline, such as Environment (back to 1975), Ecologist, Conservation Biology, etc. Environment Complete also provides full text for 80 monographs, such as Encyclopedia of World Environmental History (3 volumes), Advances in Water Treatment & Environmental Management, etc. Further, the database offers full text for the conference papers of the North American Association of Environmental Education. The final change is that the Computer Source database has been replaced by the company with Computers and Applied Sciences Complete, incorporating Computer Science Index, Computer Source, and Information Science & Technology Abstracts, and Internet & Personal Computing Abstracts. These changes, coupled with our existing database subscriptions, will increase the amount of material available to faculty and students in support of John Carroll’s curricular needs.
