Search Interface Changes


Periodicals Index Online

This resource has moved from the Chadwyck Healey search interface to the ProQuest search interface.

Index to 19th-century American Art Periodicals

This resource was available from FirstSearch and has been moved to the EBSCOhost platform.  It indexes art journals published in the U.S. during the 19th century that do not appear in any other index. Contains articles, art notes, stories, poems and advertisements. Offers essential information on artists and illustrators, painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, architecture and design, exhibitions and sales, decoration, and collecting.

Anthropology Plus

This resource used to be available from FirstSearch and is now available from EBSCOhost.

Indexes and provides abstracts for all journal articles, reports, commentaries, obituaries, etc., at least two pages long in over 2,500 journals and monographic series in the fields of social, cultural, physical, biological and linguistic anthropology, ethnology, archaeology, folklore, material culture, and related interdisciplinary studies. Combines Anthropological Literature from Harvard University and the Anthropological Index from the Royal Anthropological Institute in the UK. Coverage is from the late 19th century to the present.

Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals

This resource used to be available from FirstSearch and is now available from EBSCOhost.

This database surveys U.S. and foreign journals. The index covers international, scholarly and popular periodical literature, including publications of professional associations, U.S. state and regional periodicals, and major serial publications on the architecture and design of Europe, Asia, Latin America and Australia. This database also provides citation records for architects’ obituaries.

Last year, EBSCO Publishing bought HW Wilson.  EBSCO is in the process of migrating all Wilson databases to the EBSCOhost platform.  The following Wilson databases acquired by the Baylor University Libraries have been moved to the EBSCOhost platform:

The remaining Wilson databases should be migrated to the EBSCOhost platform before the end of February 2012, and include the following resources acquired by the Baylor University Libraries:

  • Children’s Core Collection
  • Fiction Core Collection
  • Middle and Junior High Core Collection
  • Public Library Core Collection Nonfiction
  • Senior High Core Collection

Bowker’s Books in Print

Bowker’s Books in Print is now using a new search interface.

The following resources are no longer available from the OCLC FirstSearch service.  We have moved PAIS to ProQuest and the other 4 to EBSCOhost.

 

Over the years, ProQuest has acquired the companies, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts (CSA) and Chadwyck Healey.  For the past year, ProQuest has been developing a new search interface which they want to apply to all of their databases as well as those acquired from CSA and Chadwyck Healey.  The migration to the new interface has been in place for several months, and the Baylor University Libraries have now switched to the new ProQuest interface for the following resources:

As ProQuest continues to migrate their family of resources into the new interface, we will make the appropriate changes.

Gale Biography in Context

Gale Biography in Context is a title change for Biography Resource Center.

EBSCOhost eBook Collection (Preview)

Last year, the NetLibrary e-book service was obtained by EBSCOhost. EBSCOhost is in the process of moving the NetLibrary books from the NetLibrary platform, into the EBSCOhost platform, and adding more functionality through that platform. This is preview access to this new NetLibrary interface.

Some notes about the use of this preview:

  • Any changes to Baylor’s current netLibrary collection will not be reflected within the preview environment.
  • To make use of the personalization options available, you have to create a new and unique account in the EBSCOhost eBook Collection during the preview period. Information stored, including username, password and eBook information, will be deleted once the preview ends (around June 15, 2011).
  • Activity in this preview environment will not impact/affect our current live NetLibrary account, e.g., checkouts in the preview environment will not count as checkouts in the live NetLibrary environment.

Trial expires: Thursday, July 31, 2011
