| The drop in the Canadian dollar coupled with the global economic downturn certainly had an impact on our Collections activities but we were able to acquire some key new electronic resources, many of them in direct response to requests from you, our faculty members. (Note: you can always contact your Liaison Librarian with suggestions for purchase, both print and electronic). Below are some of the highlights that we've obtained since the last newsletter.
Lexis Nexis Academic
 |
At long last, the Libraries are pleased to offer campus-wide access to Lexis Nexis Academic. By entering into a consortial agreement held between the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) and Lexis Nexis, we were able to realize improved subscription costs, enabling us to acquire this highly valued content. You now can access over 6,000 news, business, and legal sources. The outstanding news coverage includes deep backfiles and up-to-the-minute stories in national and regional newspapers, wire services, broadcast transcripts, international news, and non-English language sources. Use the included Company Dossier module to retrieve detailed company information and financial performance measures or identify and compare companies matching specific criteria. This product also provides access to the renowned Shepard’s Citations® service for all federal and states court cases back to 1789. |

 |
