Good News - Additional Library Content

Following significant additional investment of nearly £200,000 by the University in Library digital resources an extended range of electronic books and online collections are available in 2021/22. This is a major enhancement to our collections and improves our ability to support both research and teaching.

Products were carefully selected to support research and teaching across many disciplines and include databases, collections, major reference works and individual book titles. Selection criteria included turnaway statistics, discipline interest and cost. The products identified fall into two categories: outright purchase for perpetual access and trial access to June/July 2022 with evidence-based purchase to follow.

I am delighted that this investment has allowed us to expand our digital collections in this way and hope this will both improve the experience of our students and offer new opportunities for digital scholarship. I will be very happy to hear any feedback or questions, and to discuss how we might further enhance our online collections in ways that support Aberdeen 2040.

I am particularly interested in hearing from researchers with ideas for innovative research methods which could be applied to the Library’s digital content.

Simon Bains, University Librarian

Outright Purchase

Turnaway statistics from major publishers help identify demand for titles that we do not subscribe to. Based on supplied reports and known discipline interests we have purchased perpetual access to five journal backfiles including Nature (1950-1996) and the Soil Science of America Journal (1921-1996). 

We also purchased perpetual access to selected major reference works published by Elsevier, Oxford University Press and Wiley. These include more than 80 titles in the Oxford Handbooks Online series, encyclopedias in Medical Sciences and Geography, and a legacy collection of books in Earth and Planetary Sciences.

Further title details are available below. All titles can be accessed from the publisher platforms. Primo records will follow shortly.

Trial Access and Evidence Based Acquisition (EBA)

Staff and students will have trial access to more than 80 specialist full-text databases and collections from Alexander Street Press, Gale, History Vault, and ProQuest. These databases will be available until June/July 2022 and include British Library Newspapers (Parts 3-5), Financial Times Historical Archive 1888-2016, the Cecil Papers, State Papers Online (1579-1823), and Colonial State Papers (1574-1757).

The Library will carry out a consultation exercise on these products in Spring 2022 to aid decision making on future access to selected collections. Database usage and access figures will provide useful background data in that process. Following the consultation exercise and analysis of usage data some of the resources from these collections will remain accessible beyond the trial period.

Details of the collections and databases are available below. All can be accessed from the Find Databases option within Primo.
