Academic Onefile Is Meant to Serve As Your Ultimate Periodical Resource, with a Great Deal

Academic OneFile is meant to serve as your ultimate periodical resource, with a great deal of full-text, peer-reviewed content under no embargo. We’ve included the right reference, newspapers and audio content to complement the robust collection of journals.

Competitors focus on licensing titles that you usually subscribe to anyway, duplicating your collection. We license content that your students really want and need, but you don't happen to have the budget to subscribe to. We provide abstracts for the remainder of the titles, so that linking to your e-journal collection is seamless.

There's a lot of unique content in Academic OneFile that cannot be found in competitor products. These are important titles that can be found in many major indices – such as CINAHL, PsychINFO and ERIC. That is because our primary focus is to go after each journal included in any of these indices, adding them to our database in full-text with no embargo.

Academic OneFile is growing. If you currently subscribe to the InfoTrac Listserv, you will notice that every Friday we send out an email announcing all of the new full-text journals we’ve added that week. We have been averaging 50-100 new journals a week! The database has grown by more than 500 titles in the first two months of this year alone.

Here are some other key points to consider when evaluating Academic OneFile:

§  There's a unique connection to Thomson ISI here. Web of Science is one of the most respected academic databases in history, and only we link to it in this special way. For articles that are covered in both Web of Science and Academic OneFile, our customers can link to Web of Science info and Web of Science customers can link to our full-text via buttons we’ve specially set up.

§  This database is cross-searchable with eBooks, driving a lot of traffic to your investment in reference.

Also, it is important to note that Academic OneFile contains content that is very important to libraries:

§  There are nearly 700 full-text CINAHL titles available through Academic OneFile, and also available separately through the Nursing and Allied Health Collection. More than 400 of these cannot be found in EBSCO’s databases.

§  There are nearly 800 ERIC titles available through Education Reference Complete.

§  Full-text of the New York Times to 1995, Financial Times to 1996 and London Times to 1985.

§  The full Economist Intelligence Unit Series

§  Full collection of Springer and Blackwell’s abstracts, and the Elsevier abstracts for all journals from 1996 forward.

§  Full collection of NPR Audio, as well as audio versions of key journals such as JAMA, BMJ, and the New England Journal of Medicine.

Thank you for considering this database.
