WA State Lib database trials (fwd)

[NNLM PNR]

Libraries in Washington:

Here are some highlights of the Washington State Database Trials of note
for not-for-profit health libraries:

EBSCO Web (selections include bib databases such as CINAHL, PsycInfo plus
Alt-Health Watch and Health Business FullTEXT, and much more)

ProQuest (selections include interesting fulltext collections: MEDLINE
with 200 full text titles; CINAHL with 280 full text titles; PsycInfo with
275 full text titles; Health and Medical Complete with 350 full text
titles)

OCLC (selections include WordCat -- the humongous OCLC union catalog where
you can find which libraries own what books -- and many other files,
including some full text)

Cambridge Scientific Abstracts (selections include PsycInfo, AgeLine, and
much more)


There's fun stuff in there, too, like auto repair manuals and maps.  So
take a look at http://www.statelib.wa.gov/sdl/trials/winter_2002/index.htm
to see if there's something in there for you!  See message below for more
details.
