The International Bibliography of Art database is on trial until 23 June, 2011.

This database is the successor to the Bibliography of the History of Art. Publications covered include at least 500 core journals, with an emphasis on specialist and rare titles that are not covered by other indexes, plus detailed coverage of monographs, essay collections, conference proceedings and exhibition catalogues.

Please send feedback to Paul Orsman.

If these sorts of questions keep you awake at night:

Looking to understand Agent-based Models?
Wanting support to design your research project?
Needing tips to set up a focus group?

then have a look at this resource – Sage Research Methods Online (SRMO). We have this on a trial basis until the end of the year. SMRO provides direct online access to a large number of books, encyclopaedias, and journal articles all on the topic of research methods.

We’d be very interested in what you think of this resource, as your feedback will help determine if we continue to provide access. You can leave a comment on this post or contact us by email.

The InterNurse Journal package is on trial until 27 October, 2010.

It is a UK collection of 14 specialist nursing journals. These are:

British Journal of Cardiac Nursing
British Journal of Community Nursing
British Journal of Healthcare Assistants
British Journal of Neuroscience Nursing
British Journal of Nursing
British Journal of School Nursing
Gastrointestinal Nursing
International Journal of Palliative Nursing
Journal of Children's and Young People's Nursing
Journal of Renal Nursing
Journal of Wound Care
Nurse Prescribing
Nursing & Residential Care
Practice Nursing

The journals cover a range of specialist nursing subject areas that make them very pertinent to the teaching and research areas of the Nursing Programme here at Massey University. At the moment we hold the print versions of two of the titles at the Wellington Campus Library but their print format makes them less accessible to staff and students at the other campuses (it is not possible to purchase the online version of any of these titles individually).

The Berg Fashion Library database is on trial until 19 October. It is the only resource to provide integrated text and image content on world dress and fashion throughout history.

It covers all regions of the world, with content from pre-history to the present day, contributed by internationally-renowned scholars, including College Of Creative Art academic staff.
