Database trials

We have a couple of trials this month. WILS is featuring some new Gale Historical Collections. While 19th century newspapers are not at the top of our database wish list, I think they did a nice job making it easier to find and view the articles. They claim that 1/3 of the material came from the Wisconsin Historical Society.   The many iterations of the Milwaukee Sentinel and Gazette make up the bulk of Wisconsin material. Access is available all this month through WILS at http://trials.gale.com/wils08/.  This month we also have access to all the Alexander Street Press databases, including some of the music resources we have looked at in the past. Their web site provides details about their many resources.  Links and password information is posted on our database trials page . You will need the extranet login to access this page.
