6 week trial of Xreferplus

We now have a 6 week trial of Xreferplus, an online resource which includes full-text content of 215 reference works.

In order to access it, you must put in the full name, Xreferplus, in the search box on the electronic resources page.

Amy Ciccone has scheduled a visit by an Xrefer Sales Representative, Jeffrey LaPlante, to demo this collection on Tuesday, 29 August, at 9:30 am in Leavey Learning Room A.

Here's what David Waters, the Xrefer Account Executive has to say about Xreferplus:

"Over this past year, we have made great content and useability improvements to Xreferplus and as a result Xrefer has received an excellent review in Searcher Magazine in the July 2005 issue, in September of 2005 we received a 9.5 star review out of a possible 10 stars by the Library Journal, last November Xrefer was named to EContent Magazine's EContent 100, and most recently (April 2006) Xrefer received another excellent review from CHOICE Magazine.

We now have 215 titles in the Xreferplus collection! ..and we will be adding another 40-50 new titles this year!
