New Database: JISC e-Collections

The Library now has access to new database JISC e-Collections. This online resource gives you access to 3 different sets of data:

• JISC MediaHub is a new multimedia platform offering a wealth of digital image, film and sound collections accessible from a single interface. The new platform offers access to free-at-the-point-of-use images, film and sound content licensed for educational and research use, via an easy-to-use interface.
  


• JISC HistoricBooks contains the full text or page images of over 350,000 books published in England from 1475 to 1900. The service draws together content from two of the best-known and longest-established early book collections (EEBO and ECCO) and well as additional unique titles from the BL 19th Century Collection.
  


• JISC JournalArchives consolidates journal archives from many different publishers to provide a single platform for simple and fast cross-searching and full text access across more than 450 journals. More titles will be added this year to bring the collection to over 600 titles.
