Available via a unique interface and designed for the professional user, this database provides

PsycEXTRA - Produced by the American Psychological Association and made available via EBSCOhost, this database is the perfect complement to PsycINFO and PsycARTICLES as no overlap exists between the databases. PsycEXTRA is a full text database of "grey" literature covering areas of psychology and related disciplines. (Customers currently subscribing to PsycINFO or PsycARTICLES via EBSCOhost are encouraged to ask about the special incentives available for PsycEXTRA.)


Searchable Cited References - Now available as part of selected EBSCOhost databases, including CINAHL, Communication & Mass Media Complete, Business Source Premier, Academic Search Premier, etc., Searchable Cited References provide a powerful means for extending research by allowing users to locate additional information related to an article of interest. This functionality lets users link directly from a particular article to other articles cited in the bibliography of the original article. It also allows users to link directly from a particular article to other articles in a given database that cite the original article. The basic principal associated with this type of linking considers that if a particular article is of interest to a researcher, then the articles cited by that same article, or that cite the article, are often of value as well.

Seamless Links to Full Text - A breakthrough in linking technology soon to be released by EBSCO will further enhance the power of EBSCO SmartLinks. SmartLinks currently enable users of EBSCOhost citation-only databases (e.g. PsycINFO) to link from search results to the corresponding full text records in other EBSCOhost databases or e-journals to which the library subscribes. When the new technology is released, rather than linking from a result to the appropriate full text when available, the PDF will show up as part of the result list - with no need for an extra step to locate the full text. This will make databases such as PsycINFO, Inspec, EconLit, etc. appear as true full text databases!

- EBSCO Publishing will be making available a new business-specific interface for use with appropriate Business Source databases. This optional new interface will provide business researchers with the highly-refined tools that they need in order to conduct sophisticated searches for the business content that they require.

An array of sophisticated features will be available with the new business-specific interface that enables users to exert a high level of control over the development of their search strategies. For example, since the content of the Business Source databases is comprised of a wide variety of sources including Academic Journals, SWOT Analyses, Trade Publications, Industry Profiles, Company Profiles, Market Research Reports, and Product Reviews, the new interface will allow users to easily refine their searches to extract only the content from their preferred source-types. The new business-specific interface will also feature easy access to search options for Company, Industry, Author, Subject, and Publication lists all from the Basic Search Screen. In addition, users will be able to enjoy direct access to specialized search screens for browsing Company Profiles, Industry Profiles, Country Reports, and Market Research Reports. The new interface will soon be made available to applicable Business Source customers at no additional charge above and beyond their current subscription costs. In addition, the Business Source line of databases will continue to be available through the EBSCOhost interface in order to provide users with the greatest range of search options available.
