New Books in HOMER Jan 11, 2008

Feliz Año Nuevo! I hope everybody has a great holiday and is starting to enjoying a fantastic New Year 2008!

Several news before sharing my list of new materials in HOMER. First, Worldcat a meta-database provided by OCLC and available through the library website announced the following:

Article-level records for more than 350 scholarly eJournals from Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal are now accessible through the WorldCat database. The eJournals representing more than 40,000 new records are provided by RedALyC, a research group from the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México.

RedALyC provides open access to a collection of scholarly journals with a thematic focus on Latin America, including full text of all articles. The project was initiated in 2002 with the goal to contribute to the dissemination of scientific information edited in Latin America.

When researchers identify articles in the RedALyC eJournal collection through a WorldCat search, they can link from the article-level records to full text of articles on the RedALyC Web site.

Content in the RedALyC collection, which will be updated quarterly in WorldCat, is composed of eJournals in all social and scientific areas that provide access to thousands of peer-reviewed articles in Spanish, Portuguese and English.

This service can be accessed either through the RedALyc Web site or through the Worldcat database at the library. You can do keyword searches or browse by journal title or country and then journal titles. I found easier to browse the journal issues than using the search engine. But probably a successful search will depend of knowing the right terminology. In any case, if you need help using this new feature from Worldcat, feel free to contact me anytime.
