Hi,
Apologies to those who have already seen this, but I thought members of this

PsycARTICLES, which will come free to subscribers.
Cheers

Subject: [PSYCINFO] PsycARTICLES Historical Content Available/Reload Now Up
Dear Colleagues:
The long-awaited historical files for PsycARTICLES are now available. They
were released to vendors in March and are now up on APA's PsycNET; other
vendors will follow shortly.
. The additional volumes add 72,671 new full-text records to
PsycARTICLES.
. The expanded content comes free with annual site licenses or
subscriptions to PsycARTICLES.
. Articles are in PDF format, with XML metadata and references
In addition, each new full-text record in PsycARTICLES has a corresponding
record in PsycINFO, complete with cited references. To accomplish this,
approximately 15,000 new records have been added to PsycINFO, and cited
references were added to more than 74,000 existing records. For a complete
list of volumes, visit www.apa.org/librarians.
The 2006 PsycINFO reload provides new features and enhancements in addition
to the content noted above.
We are also introducing the following field:
. Grant/Sponsorship, which provides access to descriptive information
on the grant, plus grant number, and information on the recipient.
. The following field has been revised: New qualifiers have been
added to the ISBN field to include electronic formats such as CD, DVD, XML,
or other electronic formats.
The following fields have been eliminated at the request of librarians:
. Journal and Publisher URL fields in PsycINFO records. We replacing
these fields by providing access to an interactive Journal and Publisher
table, which will be available soon on the APA web site at
www.apa.org/psycarticles/coverage.
The following vendors have completed the PsycINFO reload:
. APA
. OCLC
. OVID (NOTE: We have reviewed the file and given feedback, but the
actual file has not gone up for customers yet. It should be up shortly,
however.)
For more information, please check the Vendor section of the Librarian's
Resource Center at (www.apa.org/librarians) or contact your platform vendor
directly.
If you have questions, please call me directly at 202-336-5719.
