Where's InfoTrac?

You may have noticed that InfoTrac is no longer available as a database choice from the University Library webpage. As of July 1, we are pleased to announce that some of the databases that were supplied through Gale/Cengage Learning (such as InfoTrac) have now been replaced with those supported by EBSCO. EBSCO has a longstanding track record of providing superior services to academic libraries. The new general periodical database, Academic Search Complete, will replace InfoTrac as your one-stop shop for finding articles which will provide basic information in support of your research. Academic Search Complete, as well as the other new EBSCO databases, have many features that will help you customize and improve your overall searching experience.

The Library Instruction area will be providing several workshops throughout the semester to help you become familiar with the new EBSCO databases, so keep watching the blog, web site, and around campus, for further information.

If you have any questions about the new databases, or how to use them, please feel free to contact the Reference Desk for assistance at 524-5582 (off campus) or 5582 (on campus).
