Trials: Points of View Reference Center and Academic Search Complete

We have a new CUNY-wide trial to 2 EBSCO products: Points of View Reference Center and Academic Search Complete. They have been included in the list of databases. Ebsco has made an offer to ERAC for us to get Points of View Reference Center and they’ll upgrade us to Academic Search Complete as well.

Points of View Reference Center is a direct competitor to the Gale product Opposing Viewpoints.

The trial runs until the end of December, so please take some time and try them out and let me know what you think of them.

I am especially interested in seeing what the feeling is between Opposing Viewpoints vs Points of View Reference Center since this would be a change from a product that is used quite a bit by our students.

Title comparison and product descriptions are available were sent via email or please email me to request them.
