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

Trial access to Computers and Applied Sciences Complete

The Library Now has Trial access to

Computers and Applied Sciences Complete

Access is available through the EBSCOhost database platform.

Computers and Applied Sciences Complete provides access to 730 full text publications covering computing theory and systems, electrical engineering and new technology.
Publications available on CASC include; AI Communications, Advances in Multimedia, Broadcast Engineering, Computational Intelligence and Communications news.
This database is a great resource for students interested in computing, database and systems design and engineering, communications and new media technology.

Our access to this trial will run until the end of the year, but we are considering adding it to our EBSCO database package in 2009. So, if you use CASC and like it, let us know as we base our decisions to purchase new resources on student and staff usage and feedback.

You can access CASC through the 'search all resources' link on the library homepage, but you may not be able to search CASC using WebFeat for a day or two yet. To access CASC, click on 'EBSCOhost Research Databases'.
