More free databases

A few more to mention:

Alcohol Studies Database: Contains citations of over 55,000 documents indexed by the Rutgers University Center of Alcohol Studies since 1987. The database focuses on scholarly and professional materials on beverage alcohol, its use, and related consequences. A small amount of educational and prevention materials and information on other drugs are also included.

Cogprints: An eprint archive of any sciences relevant to cognition, including Psychology, Neuroscience, Linguistics, many areas of Computer Science, Philosophy and Biology. The archive can be searched by author, title or keyword

Labordoc: Labordoc is the International Labour Office (ILO) Library's catalogue of its collection of books, reports, journals, and documents. It also includes over 350,000 references to journal articles, documents, online publications and hard-to-find material from countries around the world, giving worldwide coverage of labour, employment and related social and economic development issues. Labordoc provides multilingual (English, French, Spanish) access to specialised documents indexed and classified using the ILO Thesaurus. With its detailed abstracts, users can limit searches by main subject, by country or region, or by non-English literature, including original and translated versions of intergovernmental and nongovernmental publications. To find online full-text material, limit your search to location "electronic documents"

Project Guttenberg: Project Guttenberg is the largest single collection of free electronic books, with over 27,000 books available in its online catalogue and may be useful for subjects not so well-covered by Dawsonera.

pSearch: A customised search engine dedicated to philosophy-related web pages, searching only those web sites with online academic philosophy papers and authoritative reference sites.

Links to each of these have been added to the 'search all resources' page accessible from the library home page. None of these are searchable in Webfeat, but they may be of interest to some students.
