New Database: LGBT Life with Full Text

Thanks to a CUNY Central acquisition, all CUNY libraries now have access to LGBT Life with Full Text, which is on the EBSCOhost platform. Our links to this database can be found on the main databases page as well as the following subject listings of databases:

  • History
  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Women’s Studies

If there are other subject listings of databases that you think this one should be added to, please post it here in the comments or email Mike with that request.

The database is notable not just for the subject area it covers but also for its mix of periodicals and ebooks and its thesaurus.

Trial: LGBT Life with Full-Text

We have a CUNY-wide trial to this resource until May 23rd.

This full-text database contains all of the content available in LGBT Life as well as full text for hundreds of the most important and historically significant LGBT journals, magazines and regional newspapers including The Advocate, Gay Parent Magazine, Girlfriends, GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian & Gay Studies, James White Review, ISNA News, Ladder, Lesbian Tide, New York Blade, ONE, Tangents, as well as over 150 full-text monographs and books. The database contains comprehensive indexing and abstract coverage as well as a specializes LGBT Thesaurus containing over 6,400 terms.

You can find the trial here.

I am interested in all and any feedback and please feel free to let interested faculty know about it as well.
