More New Database Trials!

If you haven’t checked out the Database Trials page lately, you might be in for a surprise! We have many trials for databases ranging in subjects from archaeology to adolescent development.

Why trials? We want your input on how easy these databases are to use, how helpful the content is, and if you’d like to see any of these databases become part of our library offerings.

Faculty, staff, and students are invited to take a look, poke around, and give us feedback via the linked surveys. Who knows, you might even find something valuable you can use in your next research project or assignment!

Here are the individual links to each trial and survey.  They are also available from the Database Trials page.  Please note that each trial ends at a different time. You have at least a few weeks or a few months to check these out:
