News and tips by and for staff providing reference services at the Newman Library, Baruch College (New York, NY).
We have a trial to Accessible Archives until March 28, 2011. This is valid on campus only. We have access for the trial to the following historical collections: The Civil War, American County Histories, African American Newspapers, and a number of individual titles.
Please comment below or let me know what your thoughts are on this database.
CUNY is sponsoring a trial to Past Masters until April 30. It is available on campus only via the databases page or here.
This database contains the works of classic literature, philosophy, political science and more. The e-books are not downloadable to a reader.
While versions of many of these are in the public domain, Past Masters offers scholarly editions with the full academic apparatus of notes/linking/etc. There are also some powerful search features available within and across texts.
While it is a database, each title is purchased individually, so we could pick and choose.
Please let me know what you think, either by email or below in the comments.
We have a trial until October 15 to Sage Reference online. This includes all their available electronic handbooks and encyclopedias.
Comments and discussions appreciated.
At the request of the accountancy faculty, we have a two week free trial to International Interpretations on CCH Accounting Research Manager. These are interpretations of International Financial Reporting Standards.
To locate the international interpretations, log on to CCH Accounting Research Manager through the Newman Library’s databases. Then, in the Quick Links, look at the Accounting. In the far right colum click International Interpretations. (This is listed as International, after the word checklists and above the word More.)
The free trial does not include access to these two titles, although they are listed: PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Manual of Accounting – IFRS for the UK or Financial Reporting Asia Pacific.
If you have any questions or comments, please let me know. Rita
We have a trial sponsored by ERAC to 3 Wilson art databases:

We will be discussing them at our October 1 meeting so if you have comments please do share them.
Feel free to pass these trials along to faculty and students as well – the only caveat is that they are only available on campus.
