New Web Pages Help You Choose and Use Library Databases

 HSLS has developed Quick Facts information pages to help library users choose which databases to search, understand essential information about each database, and connect to online search help.

Each page typically includes the following information:

· Subjects Covered
· Database Content
· Dates Covered
· Full Text Availability
· Remote Access
· Update Frequency
· Search Help
· Database Publisher

Selected resources also link to a "Fact Sheet" with more information about the resource, including search tips and special features.

These pages are available on the Online Help: Fact Sheets and User Guides page at <www.hsls.pitt.edu/guides/factsheet/> or by clicking on the ‘more info’ links next to the databases on the Databases by Title list at <www.hsls.pitt.edu/resources/databases/titles>.

Special thanks to Carolyn Polgardy, who designed and developed many of these information pages while doing a field placement at HSLS as part of her Masters in Library and Information Sciences (MLIS) degree at the School of Information Sciences.
