Citas Latinoamericanas en Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades

This is an OCLC First Search Database available through GALILEO.

CLASE and PERIÓDICA is an index of Latin American journals in the sciences and humanities compiled by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.

This resource combines two databases:

CLASE (Citas Latinoamericanas en Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades) includes more than 198,000 references in the humanities and social sciences, selected from more than 1,200 journals and other materials published in Latin American and Caribbean countries. The database covers topics such as accounting, anthropology, the arts, business administration, library and information science, communications, demographics, economics, education, sociology, law, political science, linguistics, management, history, philosophy, and literature.

PERIÓDICA (Índice de Revistas Latinoamericanas en Ciencias) includes more than 204,000 citations to articles and other documents from over 1,400 Latin American and Caribbean scientific and technological journals. Among the subjects covered are agricultural sciences, biology, physics, geosciences, engineering, medicine, and chemistry.

How do we get the money?

The Vienna (Austria) library has found an interesting way to raise money. What other ways might garner cash without having to open up the proverbial lemonade stand?

A Quick Search in GALILEO brought up tons of articles- Lexis Nexis focused on School fundraisers (and how unhappy parents are to do them). Academic Search Premier pulled up political fund raisers. While MasterFile found articles describing various fundraising events!

The Quick Search did pull up the same articles in the databases but it also pulled up enough variety to give you the flavor of what information is out there!

To use GALILEO at home ask your Georgia librarian for the password.

What can you find?

OCLC has added article-level citation records to WorldCat.org search results from four FirstSearch base package databases: GPO, ArticleFirst, Medline and ERIC.

Now a broad base of Web users performing searches at WorldCat.org can discover article citations as well as relevant WorldCat records for books, audio and video recordings, and other content formats.

More than 30 million article citation records from the four databases were indexed in late March. WorldCat control or "accession" numbers were assigned to the records in order to allow citations to appear in search results.

These records were not added to the WorldCat database.

What users can do

Article records link to fulfillment options appropriate to a user based on their IP address. IP information determines what nearby WorldCat libraries offer access to the article and which options are displayed to the user via the record.

Options may include:
Links to full text in subscription-based online databases;
Links to library-maintained resolvers for access to available articles; or
Links to an article delivery service.

As with checkout and other local-system functionality also reachable via WorldCat.org, article fulfillment links may require a user to authenticate access with a library account.

Full-featured FirstSearch access to articles still available GPO, ArticleFirst, Medline and ERIC continue to be available for full-featured searching by individual database in the OCLC FirstSearch service.

In FirstSearch, researchers may search these databases individually or combine them with up to two additional databases for cross-database searching.

The FirstSearch interface also supports flexible options such as searching indexes specific to each database.

To use GPO, ArticleFirst, and Medline you will need the GALILEO password which is available from your Georgia librarian.

High Tech Trash

Could we be referring to a person whose unfortunate personal life choice is splashed across the tabloids and then re-enacted in Second Life?

Nope.

Elizabeth Grossman wrote a rather startling treatise on how dirty the clean tech stuff really is. The environment is in danger from the plastics and chemicals used to create our paperless, instant communication world. She concludes her book with a chapter on how to recycle those fancy gadgets.
