In the Health Databases section of the page we've added links to the CINAHL, Health & Wellness Rsource Center, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, and PubMed databases. In the Science Databases section we've added a link to Wiley Interscience. For more information about these resources, visit our Non-Legal Databases page to read the descriptions and try out the databases.

EBSCO Database Updates - New and Upgraded Resources
The CUNY-wide non-legal EBSCO database offerings have been expanded. The former "Academic Search Premier" has been upgraded to Academic Search Complete, more than doubling the number of full-text journals previously available. Business Source Premier was similarly upgraded to Business Source Complete. EBSCO's version of MEDLINE has also been upgraded to MEDLINE with Full Text, adding full-text access to many of the indexed journals. New EBSCO databases available to us are Education Research Complete and Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts with Full Text.

Federated Search Engine - Available to all CUNY Libraries on a Trial Basis Through 2009
This tool allows you to search across multiple non-legal databases available to all CUNY campuses. It is provided by EBSCO, but it is not limited to EBSCO databases. The first page allows you to choose pre-selected groups of databases by subject. If you click on the "Databases A-Z" link you can specify exactly which databases you wish to combine. Note that although LexisNexis Academic is listed as one of the choices, the law school does not have access to that database.
Using this tool is similar to using meta search engines, where the results you get may not be as complete as searching each database or search engine individually.
This resource is on trial for all CUNY libraries through the end of 2009. Send any comments to Jonathan Saxon, Electronic Resource Coordinator.

August 2009
Scholarship Links moved. Resources formerly listed on this page under "Scholarship Publications", "Scholarship Submission Tools" and "Scholarship Support" have been moved to a new "Faculty Scholarship Support" page, which is maintained by the CUNY School of Law Office of Faculty Scholarship Support.
A link to the new page is under the "Scholarship & Publication Resources" category.
Link locations moved to: Faculty Scholarship Support page (no longer part of Library pages).
Links on this page were reviewed and updated for the incoming class.

BNA Newsletter Access Password Changed
To faculty who receive BNA newsletters via email: every year in July, BNA changes the password needed to access the links in the newletters. The new password was sent to all faculty via email. If you can't find the password, please contact Jonathan Saxon, Electronic Resources Coordinator.
Non-Legal Databases - Sage Research Databases Removed
The CUNY library system no longer subscribes to the Sage research databases. We still have access to a back-file of individual journals for many titles, but we no longer have the ability to search teh research databases. Part of the reason for this was the EBSCO Academic Search Complete upgrade (see above).

This is the most comprehensive online resource we have available for
finding and downloading congressional documents. Full-text documents
are available in most years for House & Senate Reports (1819 - ),
House & Senate Documents (1817 - ), Legislative Histories (1969 - )
and the U.S. Serial Set (1789 - 1969). The collection also includes
indexes for Committee Hearings (1824 - ) and Committee Prints &
Misc. Publications (1830 - ), with limited full-text available for
those documents as well. If you find a reference to a document that is
not available in full-text, please see one of our reference librarians
for help in obtaining it through other means. Using the advanced search
function allows you to search for the documents mentioned above in
combination or individually. Additional areas of the collection include
the full-text of U.S. Public Laws (1988 - ), U.S. Statutes at Large
(1789 - ), GAO reports (2004 - ), the C.F.R. (1981 - ), the Federal
Register (1980 - ) and more. There is also a section with information
about members of Congress that includes voting records and
