A few changes to note:

ERIC has a new look and expanded coverage and includes a new area just for librarians. More than 130 new comprehensively indexed journals have been added, with plans to increase coverage even further to include both journal and non-journal literature.

Project MUSE has released a list of new titles to be added in 2009. All new titles are included in the MUSE Premium Collection. Some, including American Music and JEGP Journal of English and Germanic Philology, will also be added to the MUSE Standard Collection. Title lists for 2009 for all collections will soon be available on the MUSE web site. Some Edinburgh University Press titles have been withdrawn from MUSE and will be archive-only status.

Books & Authors, the replacement for What do I read next, is now available. Our access has not yet been confirmed but you will be able to have a play around before it is pushed out to users.

ABI-INFORM has begun using new Article Types and a new indexing field this year, with articles retrospectively indexed to capture this information going back several years. Market Research (and the associated Market Segment field), Business Case and Literature Review article types are new and can be found using the Document type limiter.

Please let me know if you would like more information about any of these things.
