ONLINE PERIODICAL INDEXES

Why use online databases?

• It is much easier to use online databases, and you can search years of a database with one search
• You can also find the most recent articles on any topic because most online databases are updated daily or weekly

There is a disadvantage to online databases for those who are researching topics in history or literature

• Most online databases go back only to the 1990's or the 1980's, and so many potentially valuable articles in older magazines and journals can be missed if you search only in online databases.

Some Online Databases that the SE Library Has

1. Where the Databases are located
These databases are all to be found on the SE Library's Electronic Resources Page at: http://www.se.edu/lib/electres.htm

2. What EBSCOHost and FirstSearch are
The word EBSCOhost or FirstSearch to the right of the database name in the table above indicates the name of the database vendor where you can find these databases. If you look at the list of links on the ELectronic Resources page, you will see the links organized by the type of database that they are. You will find EBSCOhost and FirstSearch under the listing of databases called Periodical Databases. When you go down the list, you will see at least two links for both EBSCOhost and FirstSearch. The first link is for those that are on the SE campus. Click on that link, and you will be taken to the list of databases under EBSCOhost or FirstSearch. The second link is the off campus link. This link is necessary to use if you are off of the SE Campus. This link takes you to a page where you will be asked to type in a userid or authorization number, and a password. The userid or authorization number and password to gain access to EBSCOhost and FirstSearch is available at the SE Library Reference Desk, and also is on the proxy server.

Step Two: Check to see if the article is available online Full-Text

Step Three: Check to see if the article is available online Full-Text in another database

Step Four: Check to see if the the SE Library has the journal in paper

Step Five: Use InterLibrary Loan to obtain the article from another college library that has the journal that you want

1. Obtain an Interlibrary loan form from the circulation desk or go to an online InterLibrary Loan form at: http://www.se.edu/lib/illjournalreq.htm for a journal article and http://www.se.edu/lib/illbookreq.htm for Interlibrary loaning a book. 2. Fill out the form, take note that those fields of the form that have an asterisk in front of them are required fields that are needed to send the information via e-mail. Click submit after filling out the form. 3. The process of receiving something from InterLibrary loan takes about 4 days to two weeks, so if InterLibrary Loans are needed,

The U.S. Human Genome Project (HGP), composed of the DOE and NIH Human Genome Programs, is the national coordinated effort to characterize all human genetic material by determining the complete sequence of the DNA in the human genome. The HGP's ultimate goal is  to discover all the more than 80,000 human genes and render them accessible for further biological study. To facilitate the future interpretation of human gene function, parallel studies are being carried  out on selected model organisms. View timeline and history for background information on the project.

These innovations demonstrate that technology is among the most powerful, and often destructive, agents of social change in modern times. The International Center for Technology Assessment  (CTA) was formed in order to assist the general public and policy-makers in better  understanding how technology affects society. This organization is concerned with genetically engineered foods, organic standards, food irradiation, bovine Growth Hormone, mad cow disease, intellectual property rights, human applications of biotechnology, (cloning,  hGH, and patenting of human life) and auto pollution.
