New databases at ASL part 2

Here are three more new databases to which the Arkansas State Library provides access.

Gale Psychology Collection: This set explores what makes people "tick" from childhood to death. This collection gives individuals a basic understanding of the study of the mind, emotions and how the human mind develops -- and diminishes -- over time. Provides access to 200 subject-appropriate full-text periodicals, including The Journal of Psychology, Clinical Psychiatry News, The Exceptional Parent, and Psychology Today.

Pop Culture Collection: This collection provides useful information for any researcher in a social science, history, art, or liberal arts course. It can also be useful for the general reader who is looking for articles from popular magazines. The collection is made up of 100 subject-appropriate periodicals, which are predominantly full-text. Titles include Allure, Atlantic Monthly, Jet, and Public Opinion Quarterly.

Nursing and Allied Health Collection: All aspects of the Nursing profession -- from direct patient care to health care administration -- are covered in this collection. Including nearly 400 titles, this collection's current and authoritative content will be of use to both professionals already working in the field as well as students pursuing a nursing-focused curriculum. Several of the titles included are Chemist & Druggist, Nursing Times, and ED Nursing.
