The Financial Post is indexed and fulltext on Canadian Business and Current Affairs on the campus cd-rom network. The Library has begun to use a special feature of our software which allows staff to create records before the book is actually ordered. This will avoid staff making out orders twice for the same title, or different librarians placing orders for the same title. This note appears for other items as well such as gifts awaiting processing. The indexing goes back as far as the mid-fifties for some titles.
Abstracts are available for most entries.
In addition to articles, each year over 6,000 citations of book and media reviews from a selection of over 100 key journals in US and Canadian history and related fields are included. In total approximately 16,000 new entries are added to the database annually. Every year over 20,000 new citations are added to the database. Access to these databases will be over the Internet from any computer located on campus. We have been advised by the vendor of ProQuest Research Library database that a new version of the software will be released over the summer.
