                                                   U.P. Mindanao Renews Access to Online Databases  

U.P. Mindanao, courtesy of the UP Diliman Library System and the Philippine e-Library Project, now has access to five (5) online databases in various fields and disciplines. The five databases, accessible via the U.P. Mindanao Library System’s portal ALARM, are Gale Virtual Reference Library, IEEE Xplore, Project MUSE, Proquest, and Science Direct Freedom Collection. This news was relayed to Dr. Briccio M. Merced, Jr., University Librarian, U.P. Mindanao, in an email sent by Prof. Chito Angeles, Head, Computer Services Division University Library, U.P. Diliman, and Senior Lecturer, U.P. School of Library and Information Studies.

Gale Virtual Reference Library is a database of encyclopedias and specialized reference sources for multidisciplinary research. These reference materials once were accessible only in the library, but now can be accessed online from the library or remotely 24/7. Because each library creates its own eBook collection, the content you see may vary if you use the database at different libraries (your school, your public library, or your office).

IEEE Xplore is an online delivery system providing full-text access to the world's highest quality technical literature in electrical engineering, computer science, and electronics. IEEE Xplore contains full text documents from IEEE journals, transactions, magazines, letters, conference proceedings, standards, and IEE (Institution of Electrical Engineers) publications. Access to IEEE is funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) for the Engineering Research and Development for Technology (ERDT) Program. IEEE expires on 2010-10-31.

Project MUSE is a unique collaboration between libraries and publishers providing 100% full-text, affordable and user-friendly online access to over 300 high quality humanities, arts, and social sciences journals from 60 scholarly publishers. Project MUSE expires on 2011-03-31.

Proquest is a complete online database package which consists of the following databases: ABI/INFORM Global, Academic and Research Library, Nursing & Allied Health Source, ProQuest Agriculture Journals, ProQuest Biology Journals, ProQuest Computing, ProQuest Education Journals, ProQuest Medical Library, ProQuest Science Journals, ProQuest Social Science Journals, and the U.S. National Newspaper Abstracts. Proquest expires on 2010-09-30.

Science Direct Freedom Collection is the world's largest electronic collection of science, technology and medicine full-text and bibliographic information. It contains over 25% of the world's science, technology and medicine full-text and bibliographic information. Subjects include Chemical Engineering, Computer Science, Decision Sciences, Engineering, Materials Science, Mathematics. Back files are available from 1995-2009. Access to Science Direct is courtesy of the Philippine eLib Project.

Access to these electronic resources is via IP address authentication and, is therefore, limited to users accessing from within any of the U.P. Mindanao's units using computers connected to its network at both the Kanluran and Anda campuses. At some point there could be difficulties in access due to connectivity at the publisher's site, the aggregator's or our own network.

For more information about these resources, please contact your College Librarian or the Main Library at telephone 293-0420. Each of these databases also has help facility and search tips in their homepages which can aid you in your research requirements.
