Database Highlight #21: We go Statewide for That

Submitted by sadie.bruce on Mon, 11/27/2017 - 08:24

Back in October, the Oklahoma Department of Libraries [1] announced the new statewide contract with Ebsco. The new contract provides Metro with a wealth of Ebsco databases and this year they’ve added 8 new databases!

The new databases are live and linked under Research [2]. They are also accessible through EDS.

The new databases are:

Computer Source: Consumer Edition [3]

Home Improvement Reference Center [4]

Legal Collection [5]

Legal Information Reference Center [6]

Poetry and Short Story Reference Center [7]

Psychology and Behavioral Science Collection [8]

Religion and Philosophy Collection [9]

Sociological Collection [10]

Since these databases are statewide, every school, college, and public library in Oklahoma has access.

This week’s open site is the Institute of Museum and Library Services [11]. IMLS grants are responsible for the statewide databases and library programs across the country. The IMLS also identifies goals and coordinates research on national projects.

Action Steps

In the comments, state which new database you’re most looking forward to exploring and why.
Take a look at the ILMS Initiatives [12] – is there one that catches your interest?

Ebsco sticky pads for all responders!
