- The
library subscribes, on an annual basis, to about 100 databases.
Databases are added based on money available and the needs of the
campus community.
- Availability of subscription databases off campus is
limited, by the companies that produce them, to use by authorized
members of the TCNJ community (current TCNJ students, faculty and staff).
- A few subscription databases can only be used
on campus or in the library building.
- Some of the library databases do
not contain full text of articles; they include only citations,
and usually abstracts, for scholarly publications. This is gradually
changing as more databases add at least some full text of scholarly publications
and connections between databases allow you to easily retrieve full text from another source.
- Scholarly publications are less likely to be available
full text in library databases. Magazines are more likely to be
available full text.
- Some databases, that index scholarly publications,
index not only journal articles but book chapters, academic dissertations,
research reports, conference proceedings, and other scholarly types
of publications.
- Some databases include resources such as
statistics, images ("pictures" and photographs, etc.), encyclopedias,
specialized dictionaries, other reference-book-type resources,
and more.
