We have a CUNY-wide trial to World Scholar until the end of May. It is valid on campus only.
This is a new product from Gale that focuses on Latin America and the Caribbean. It contains a wide variety of historical material, at least some of it hard to find. One interesting collection are pamphlets created by various popular Brazilian groups from 1966 to 1986, which were instrumental in bringing about a transition to democracy. As far as I know, this was only available in CD-ROM format in the past.
It also contains a number of historical statistics, even in the areas of business, that I don’t think we find in any of our current resources. It does offer the possibility of having text read to the user, although the voice-machine seems to be more fluent in Spanish than in Portuguese.
This trial is in conjunction with the trial to the Latin American Weekly Report. Please share you comments here or feel free to email me.
