New(ish) databases

Following the success of our recent trials of Computer and Applied Sciences Complete (CASC) and Marketline, the library has purchased full subscriptions to these databases. Many thanks must go to the database vendors for giving us instant access to these resources. CASC, as the name suggests is an engineering, computer science (and related disciplines) database, with 500 journals and periodicals available as full-text. Marketline is a business information database with a wealth of information on companies, industrial sectors and countries. Data can be exported to Word, Excel and PowerPoint. CASC is available off-campus via WebFeat and can be searched in WebFeat. Marketline is not searchable in WebFeat, but can be searched off-campus via the 'Search All Resources' link on the library home page
