Two Databases Change Face

Two popular resources among Watson Library subscriptions now have a new look with improved features.

JSTOR – has added MyJSTOR for personal customization, better search features, better article page viewing and simplified printing and viewing of articles in PDF format.  (A few problems with this release, such as the suspension of the “page of first match”, are expected to be corrected by the end of June.)

Oxford Art Online – this resource includes the complete and searchable Grove Dictionary of Art on a new platform (May 2008) with new content, functionality and partnership links.  Oxford Art Online replaces Grove Art Online and includes The Oxford Companion to Western Art, the Encyclopedia of Aesthetics, and The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Art.
