Individuals can search through the contents and keywords of 17,000 periodicals on
Carlweb's
Uncover site.
There is
no charge for searches against the Uncover database. You can
pay $10 per article for fax document delivery of search results if you don't want
to go searching through the library stacks yourself. Those of you involved in ongoing
research projects and teaching interests will want to subscribe to Uncover's
REVEAL service. For an annual fee (currently $25), REVEAL stores keywords
for your research interests and sends you a list every month of the articles that
have been published dealing with the topics you've listed.
A few online database providers, as well, such as
Ovid are taking advantage of the
easy access the web offers to individual researchers. Researchers in the Humanities
will want to note that Ovid has recently added the MLA
International Bibliography to their databases. Notices on the site suggest
that individuals may now sign up for "pay-as-you-go" access to Ovid databases.
