TRANSCRIPT
The DU Libraries have added
a new search box to help you find our resources!
http://www.davenport.edu/library
What resources can I FIND
with the new search box?
ONE
Includes many of the full-text articles
out of our databases (not all)
Why not ALL the full-text articles
out of our databases?
Because this service doesn’t get the article
information from the databases.
They get the articles directly from
the publishers,who also sell it to
the databases.
Some of the publishers of the articles
have chosen not to let them index the
articles.
TWO
Includes open source
material
What is open source
material?
Open sourcematerial is
material available without paying for it.
Why don’t you have to pay for it?
a) Its copyright ran out
Examples:-Project Gutenberg - www.gutenberg.org-Hathi Trust - www.hathitrust.org
(public domain items)
Several reasons for Open Source
b) The researchers’ funding body requires free accessExample:U.S. National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine (NIH/NLM) - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/about/public-access-info/
Several reasons for Open Source
c) Commitment of the publisher to Open AccessExample:-Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) - http://doaj.org/-Elsevier - http://www.elsevier.com/about/open-access/open-access-journals
