Electronic Journals - We have access to 26,323 journals electronically. You can search for specific titles by going to our alphabetical list, or you can see the list sorted by discipline. 8/22/05

Electronic Indexes & Abstracts - GALILEO (Georgia Library Learning Online) and Henderson Library offer more than 200 abstract and index databases, many with links to the full-text or full-image articles. From the Library’s home page, click on the GALILEO icon. Search for specific titles by choosing the A – Z list tab in the upper right hand corner of the GALILEO home page, or see databases listed by discipline by choosing the appropriate tabs to the left of the A – Z tab. 8/22/05

Print Subscriptions - We also subscribe to almost 1,500 journals in traditional print format. You can search for specific titles alphabetically or by Library of Congress call number, the latter providing a subject-based sort. Click on a journal title to see the issues Henderson Library owns. 8/22/05

New Book Purchases Report - In addition to searching our online catalog using author, title, keyword, and subject options (as well as others), you may also limit your search to titles added recently. Look for the link “New Titles List” on the bottom left-hand side of the search screen. 8/22/05

New Scholarly Publications Alerts - To find new publications in your field, the best databases to consult are ingenta and Current Contents. In addition to standard searching of these databases, faculty may choose to be alerted to new publications by notifications from ingenta, a company supplying access to articles in more than 26,000 journals. Go to the ingenta home page, choose “sign up” and follow the instructions for registering. Don’t forget to include your e-mail address. You may then choose up to 25 keyword search phrases and 50 journal titles. Each week ingenta will e-mail you the citations for new articles matching your keyword searches and tables of contents for new issues of your journals. You may search the Current Contents database at the GALILEO site, but an automatic alert service is not available. 8/22/05

Sources to Supplement Henderson Library Holdings - Search all University System of Georgia Libraries holdings simultaneously by clicking on the “GIL Universal Catalog” link at the top of the Keyword Search or Exact Search screens in our online catalog. If you need a book from another USG library that is not owned by Henderson, click on “GIL Express Request” at the top of the book’s catalog record screen. You may order the book to be delivered to Henderson (or another USG library if that is more convenient for you) within two days. GIL Express is for books only, but you may place interlibrary loan orders online for journal articles not owned by Henderson Library and for books not available from Henderson or through GIL Express. 8/22/05

Government Information - As a selective federal and state government depository library, we provide considerable electronic and print resources. See our government documents Website. 8/22/05

Research Data Sets - The Library holds a membership in the Inter-university Consortium of Political and Social Research (ICPSR). ICPSR maintains and provides access to a vast archive of social science data for research and instruction. Georgia Southern students and faculty may download the data sets directly. 8/22/05

Discipline-Based Resources, Online References & Workshops - Information Services has compiled lists of important resources for your discipline to save time for you and your students. Check these out at EagleSource. Also see our virtual reference shelf, our virtual classroom (for additional information resources and online tutorials), and our series of classroom workshops. 8/22/05
