This package gives access to Jane’s online service, which is split into two areas – the Public Area and the Client Area. The Public Area gives access to the content of the Jane’s website that is freely available to all visitors, while the Client Area gives access to subscription-only products from Jane’s Information Group.

CSU’s Client Area includes full-text access to 10 subscribed journals in the areas of defence, security, terrorism, and international affairs. Note that Jane’s call these journals “products” or “datasets”. They are:

• Jane’s Defence Industry
• Jane’s Defence Weekly
• Jane’s Foreign Report
• Jane’s Intelligence Digest
• Jane’s Intelligence Review
• Jane’s International Defence Review
• Jane’s Islamic Affairs Analyst
• Jane’s Missiles and Rockets
• Jane’s Navy International
• Jane’s Terrorism and Security Monitor

The Client Area tab gives browsing-and-searching access to these different products, or they can be searched in various ways under the Research Tools tab.

The Research Tools tab also allows for searching across all of the subscription-only content of Jane’s online service (but full-text access is restricted to the 10 journals listed above).

Other features of Jane’s online service are personalised search and alert services, and Jane's News Briefs, a weekly email service offering the latest Jane's headlines and abstracts, delivered by email.

Coverage varies with each journal title, with archived information available as far back as 17 years.

JBI COnNECT – the Clinical Online Network of Evidence for Care and Therapeutics – is a subscription-only resource which is the main product of the Joanna Briggs Institute.

JBI COnNECT works as an online gateway to a collection of evidence-based resources and tools designed to assist in the clinical decision-making process and to support best practice. These resources and tools allow users to engage in the “six essential steps of evidence-based health care”: to search, appraise, summarise, embed, utilise, and evaluate evidence-based information.

JBI COnNECT comprises a series of sites on selected areas of health, referred to as ‘nodes’. All nodes contain the same resources and programs, but the information included in each node is specific to that area of health. Alternatively, users can search for information from all nodes.

The nodes in JBI COnNECT include:

• Aged Care
• Acute Care
• Diagnostic Imaging
• Infection Control
• Midwifery
• Rehabilitation

The resources and programs available in JBI COnNECT include:

• databases of EBP material including the Best Practice Information Sheet Collection, the JBI Library of Systematic Reviews, the JBI Database of Evidence-Based Care Bundles, and the JBI Database of Evidence Summaries;
• JBI RAPid, a program that assists users to appraise evidence;
• JBI Online Practice and Policy Manual Builder;
• JBI PACES and JBI POOL/JBI COOL (tools to implement evidence and evaluate the impact of using it on resident/client outcomes);
• a collection of online journals.

The Joanna Briggs Institue (JBI) is a not-for-profit initiative of the Royal Adelaide Hospital and the University of Adelaide, with headquarters in Adelaide, and twenty-eight Collaborating Centres across the world. Established in 1996, the Institute is now a major international agency for evidence-based health and aged care.

The Joanna Briggs Institute provides extensive, free-access information about evidence based health care on its website. But its main product is JBI COnNECT – the Clinical Online Network of Evidence for Care and Therapeutics.

CSU users should have access to all the material on the JBI website. It is recommended that, in order to gain a full understanding of the JBI and its resources, users check the information provided via the tabs at the top of the Joanna Briggs Institute's webpage.This will reveal not only the scope of the databases,but also how to find links to useful webpages.

Journal Citation Reports (JCR) is a tool for journal evaluation, using citation data drawn from over 8,400 journals from over 3,000 publishers worldwide.

JCR is published annually in two editions:

• Science Edition, with data from roughly 5,000 journals in the areas of science and technology
• Social Sciences Edition, with data from roughly 1,500 journals in the social sciences.

JCR includes information about the:

• highest impact journals in a field
• most frequently used journals in a field
• "hottest" journals in a field
• leading journals in a field
• related journals in a field.

Journals@Ovid is a database of articles from journals which are available for subscription in full-text. It is an aggregate of hundreds of scientific, technical, and medical journals from over 50 publishers and societies.

CSU Library does not subscribe to all the journals indexed in this database. However, CSU Library does subscribe to the full text of 173 Journals@Ovid journals, mainly in the subject areas of medicine, nursing, psychology, and sports science.

So the results of searching Journals@Ovid will include a mix of citation-only and full-text results.

Please note that the 173 full-text journals are also available in the database CSU Full Text Journals@Ovid, listed in the CSU databases lists as Journals@Ovid CSU Full Text Subscribed.

Ovid lists this database as CSU Full Text Journals@Ovid. It is a subset of the database Journals@Ovid and, as such, contains only the 173 journals to which CSU subscribes in full-text.

These journals are mainly in the subject areas of medicine, nursing, psychology, and sports science.

All the results of searching this database will be in full-text.

JSTOR is a searchable archive of full text journals.

JSTOR is an archive of journal backfiles. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE CURRENT ISSUES OF THESE JOURNAL TITLES. Each journal publisher has determined what years will be available through the database. In some instances publishers have provided all backfiles excluding the current year. For other titles backfiles may exclude the current and preceding two, three or four years.

CSU has access to following JSTOR "collections":

Arts & Sciences I. Established in 1997, JSTOR's first collection includes core journals in economics, history, political science, and sociology, as well as in other key fields in the humanities and social sciences. This collection also contains titles in ecology, mathematics, and statistics. Overall, there are 119 titles in fifteen disciplines.

Arts & Sciences II. The Arts & Sciences II Collection is home to 124 titles. This collection adds depth to many disciplines introduced in Arts & Sciences I, such as economics, history, and Asian studies. Arts & Sciences II also offers core journals in several new disciplines, such as archaeology, classics, and African, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Slavic studies.

Arts & Sciences III. Arts & Sciences III includes journals in languages and literature, as well as essential titles in the fields of music, film studies, folklore, performing arts, religion, and the history and study of art and architecture. There are 150 titles in this collection.

Biological Sciences. The Biological Sciences Collection brings together the 29 journals available in JSTOR’s existing Ecology & Botany Collection with more than 100 titles that span the sciences. The collection is particularly strong in ecology and evolutionary biology, plant and animal sciences, paleontology, and conservation.
