The JSTOR database has been expanded.

Previously, we subscribed to the Life Sciences Collection through JSTOR, but we have recently added two new collections that greatly increase our available resources. The JSTOR collections available through NWOSU Library Services now include:

Arts & Sciences I

Core research and society publications in the represented disciplines (economics, history, political science, & sociology).

Arts & Sciences XII

Focused on more than 30 arts, humanities, and social science disciplines on JSTOR, as well as business, finance, and health science fields; captures titles that cross discipline boundaries, with titles in more disciplines than in any other JSTOR collection.

Life Sciences

Merges the Biological Sciences and Health & General Science Collections together into a single multidisciplinary collection; extraordinary depth in the field sciences and coverage in medicine, nursing, epidemiology, and public health.

The new semester begins on August 19^th.

Just in time for the new year, Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s Library Services has added two new databases to our online collection. HeinOnline, an organization that curates legal databases, offers two of its databases free to educational institutions.

The first of these is Slavery in America and the World: History, Culture & Law, which brings together a large collection of legal statutes, historical pamphlets, and scholarly writings.

The second is Gun Regulation and Legislation in America, which brings together Supreme Court briefs, hearings, federal publications, and other sources.

Because these free databases do not come to us as part of a larger package, some of the scholarly articles they contain are not available in full text. Their bibliographic information, however, is still visible.
