Databases

In May 2010 McGovern Library subscribed to Britannica Online Academic Edition. Britannica Online features a new media viewer, a consolidated article page with related content and Web sites, and a new "My Britannica" workspace for uploading, saving, and sharing documents and media with friends and colleagues. Check back often as new features will be added periodically, including a robust editing tool for editing Britannica articles and creating original works.

In April 2010 McGovern Library subscribed to Credo Reference. Credo Reference is a general reference solution offering more than 485 hundred highly-regarded titles from over 70 publishers. Credo Reference covers every major subject from the world's best publishers of reference.

In October 2009 McGovern Library subscribed to the Historical New York Times database from ProQuest. The Historical New York Times (1851-2006) with Index (1851-1993) provides search capability using subject terms and topics for focused and targeted results in combination with searchable full text, full page, and article-level images from the Historical New York Times (1851-2006). This is a great improvement over using microfilm to locate articles from the New York Times.

McGovern Library is able to provide access to most library databases from off-campus via the product EZProxy. If you are connecting to a library database from off-campus, you will be required to login with your campus network username and password. Once you are verified as a member of the DWU community you will connect to the resource. EZproxy is browser independent, i.e., any browser (Other than AOL) should work with EZproxy.

Gale Virtual Reference Library now offers a "read aloud" function. Click on the "Listen" link at the top of the page to have the article read to you.

Over the summer new discipline-specific pages were created. These pages provide access to subject-specific databases, electronic reference books, and web resources.These pages are found at http://www.dwu.edu/library/Subject/subject.htm
