Dear lis-linkers,
Some of you may remember my enquiry for a 'Keep It Simple' provider of
electronic journals levelled at students on Higher National courses and
those in the FE sector as well as
* able to offer the staple journals suggested by exam boards
* full text
* good front end
* easy to search
* able to keep search results to a manageable number
* cheap
Well, I've just looked at the new Ebsco product called the UK Reference
Centre and I'm pleased to say that it does fulfil a lot of the criteria for
content and ease of use by our students and is relatively cheap - prices
differ depending on the type and size of the institution. I don't want to
do a commercial plug for it ... but ... if any one would like to know more
or arrange a free 60 day trial, they should contact:
