Trial Databases at the Library

From time to time, the Library hosts trials of database products that we are considering for possible future subscriptions. For the Spring, we are looking at the following products:

Ebrary
EBSCOhost Literary Reference Center
EBSCOhost Vocational Studies Premier
Biography Reference Bank
ProQuest Historical New York Times

to access these databases go to: http://www.chabotcollege.edu/Library/abby/TrialDatabases.htm

Be sure to read the directions. For most of these products, you still get in by using your username and password. ProQuest Historical New York Times is ONLY available on campus. Take note of the deadline dates. Ebrary's Trial concludes on March 20, 2008, for example. In the coming days, there will be a post that will introduce the database and give you some insight why we are considering it, and we would like to hear from YOU as to why you think it should be part of the regular collection.
