]]> Comment on TRIAL: LexisNexis Statistical by Elizabeth Watson http://ereport.wordpress.com/2007/12/17/trial-lexisnexis-statistical/#comment-1054 Elizabeth Watson Thu, 03 Jan 2008 15:11:05 +0000 http://ereport.wordpress.com/2007/12/17/trial-lexisnexis-statistical/#comment-1054 I feel we already have access to most of this data in other resources such as Global Insight, World Development Indicators, Statistics Canada publications. One could argue that it is good to have it in one source but LexisNexis statistical only has subsets of what is in the other databases so you would still need to subscribe to them. Some we get for free such as the Statistics Canada because of DLI etc. Also I am not impressed with the search interface. It is my opinion that we do not require this resource.

Highway. May be useful for other English language plays though. I would not find this to be an indispensable resource.

We have so many dictionaries available online already, this is a luxury from my point of view. only if we have too much money.

]]> Comment on TRIAL: Psychology & Behavioral Sciences Collection by Vivienne Monty http://ereport.wordpress.com/2007/08/28/trial-psychology-behavioral-sciences-collection/#comment-679 Vivienne Monty Thu, 18 Oct 2007 19:53:37 +0000 http://ereport.wordpress.com/2007/08/28/trial-psychology-behavioral-sciences-collection/#comment-679 This seems excellent but has anyone studied the overlap to PsycInfo. I did the same search on each one and PsycInfo came up with four times the amount of data although I liked the subject control in Ebsco better (that's cause of the basic database though.) If this has more data than great, but if it covers the same territory than why get it? Has anyone done a comparison? This seems excellent but has anyone studied the overlap to PsycInfo.

I'm not sure what the cost might be but if it's reasonable, I would like to see us buy it. I find this useful primarily because of Universalis (French) encyclopedia.

I have sent it to some Glendon faculty for comment. Would be a good counter balance to Index Islamicus if one is needed. Looks interesting. I have sent it to some Glendon faculty for comment.

It's also indexed in LLBA, Psyinfo and Medline reflecting this diversity in subjects. I think we should get it.
