We now have access to Library PressDisplay. Access is from the Catalogue and Databases pages. Records for individual titles will be added to the Catalogue next month.

Titles can be easily viewed by using the “select title” or “titles by country” features. Translations are available and you can use the sound feature to listen to an article. It’s quite intuitive to use, things like flipping pages, searching, zooming, etc, are all indicated with icons. Coverage is limited to 60 days (or less for some titles) at any one time. Most inserts are included (often listed under a separate name). Papers can be read on mobile devices using PressReader and there are lots of user options for SmartNavigation enabled titles. Refer to the Help on site for more information.

Printing is restricted to one page at a time or individual articles for copyright reasons. The print feature works by printing the full page or selecting a portion of the page to print. This could then be converted to a PDF if desired.

The most used newspapers have been put on the front page in the Librarian’s Picks area – The Australian, The Press, The New Zealand Herald.

Keep up with new features, etc on the PressDisplay Blog

Deirdre

We now have access to two more EBSCO databases and one more ProQuest database:

• CINAHL with full text
• Political Science Complete
• ProQuest Political Science

Access is from the Catalogue and the Databases pages.

We no longer have access to Worldwide Political Science Abstracts via CSA Illumina. If you had included this in your subject guides, you will need to add either or both of the new ones. We will only have access to both the EBSCO and PQ political science products until the end of the year, when a decision will have been made as to which product we will continue to subscribe to.

Please let me know if there are any problems.

ENGnetBASE has a new interface – CRCnetBASE 2.0. The main home page URL is redirecting to the new site but individual titles in the Catalogue are not. This is being fixed asap.

In the meantime, please direct people to the home page of CRCnetBASE and from there they can search for the title they want.
