Database Trials

The Library is trying out a few databases for possible purchase.

• Historical Black Newspapers Collection - [ends 10/26/08]; password = welcome
  
  
• Monthly Catalog of US Government Publications 1895-1975 - [ends 10/30/08]; password = welcome
  
  
• 19th Centry British Library Newspapers - [ends 10/8/08]
  

If a database is of interest to you, please take a bit of time to try it out and let me know what your think. How is the database useful for your research? For your student's research? How important is the database compared to other databases you might use? In your estimation, does the database warrant purchasing given the limitations of the library budget? Email mudrock@u.washington with your comments.
