Business Source Complete  is available via the EBSCOhost interface and is a replacement for, and effectively an upgrade to, the Business Source Premier database. It contains significantly more content than Business Source Premier, especially in the area of full-text content.

Full-text content includes more than 1600 peer-reviewed journals and more than 1500 trade journals and general business magazines but also includes significant non-journal full-text content as follows (as at August 2009):

Subject areas covered include: management, finance, international
business, economics, accounting, marketing, and tourism.

Coverage (not necessarily full-text) extends back to 1886; updating is daily.

EBSCOhost offers a special “Enhanced Business Searching Interface" for this database. (You can access this searching interface from the full list of EBSCOhost databases, within the EBSCOhost interface.).

PsycARTICLES Full Text contains full-text professional and academic articles from 68 scholarly journals in psychology and related disciplines published by the American Psychological Association (APA), Hogrefe Publishing Group, the Canadian Psychological Association, and APA's Educational Publishing Foundation. It has always been a subset of the PsycINFO database, but is now (mid-2009) available as a separate resource.

Coverage extends back to 1894. In total, the database contains nearly 140,000 articles. The 68 journals are all currently published journals, but there is also material from journals no longer published.

A full-list of the currently-published journals is available here .

The database is updated weekly, in conjunction with PsycINFO.

Primal Pictures is an online interactive resource that provides a multimedia overview of human anatomy.

Primal Pictures Dentistry, also called 3D Head and Neck Anatomy for Dentistry, is the Dentistry module of Primal Pictures, and includes 3D modelling of more than 100 views of the key anatomy for dentistry. Views include oral and nasal cavities, dentition, individual teeth in 3D and cross section, nerves, larynx and pharynx, sinuses, the eye, and the brain.

The resource also features MRI images, photographic slides, movies and animations, and specialised clinical content which includes 3D views of progressive dental conditions such as caries and gingivitis, and interactive 3D nerve views of intraoral injections.

A clinical text section covers a range of subjects in a subject guide format under the headings of embryogenesis, examination, teeth, dental anaesthesia, spread of infection, face, joints overview, and pterygopalatine fossa.

Please note:

• CSU's listing of Primal Pictures Dentistry links to an introductory Ovid screen which lists the various modules of Primal Pictures. Look for and click on the Dentistry heading in the right column, marked by a green tick.
• If you have previously used Primal Pictures (the full resource), you might find that the link to Primal Pictures Dentistry takes you to the full resource. You will need to clear cookies to resolve this.

Informaworld is a one-stop site hosting the full text of more than 1000 eJournals published by Taylor & Francis, Routledge, Psychology Press, Lawrence Erlbaum, Haworth Press, and Multilingual Matters, as well as citations from hundreds of other journals.

Prior to May 2009, CSU Library had access to only the full-text of the Routledge collection of education journals, but now has access to a much wider collection of journals covering a range of subject areas.

Subject strengths of the collection include:

One of the benefits of Informaworld to CSU users is that it closes the “embargo” gap for a large number of eJournals already available via EBSCOhost: that is, it provides the full-text of recent issues of journals which are not available (for the most recent 12 months) in EBSCOhost.

The collection works like a database and offers a range of browse, search, and saved search options.

A standard search will return results that are both citation-only and full-text. SFX links are NOT available in this database, but users can limit their searches to (predominantly) full-text results by ticking the “My subscriptions only” box.

ACM Library is a large collection of citations and full-text items from the Association of Computing Machinery.

The resource has two components

• The ACM Digital Library, a repository of papers published or co-published by the ACM
• The Guide to Computing Literature, a collection more than 750,000 citations from 3000+ publishers, including the ACM.

It is the ACM Digital Library that is the full-text resource. CSU’s subscription includes access to more than 320 publications, including journals, magazines, newsletters, transactions, proceedings, and publications by affiliated organisations.

ACM Library offers a number of database features, including searching and browsing, and personalised services including saving results and queries, and setting up Table-Of- Contents (TOC) alerts.

Coverage is from 1947 -. Updated weekly.

Note: ACM journals which CSU previously subscribed to in print have been converted to online access and are available in this collection.

afr.com is the exclusive source of full-text articles from Fairfax Business Media publications including The Australian Financial Review and Business Review Weekly, but also over twenty other Fairfax news and information sources including the major Fairfax dailies and even The New York Times.

Content from sources such as The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, and The New York Times includes all (not just Business-related) material.

afr.com also includes a range of financial charts and investment tools.

Archival coverage extends as far back as 20 years. Publications and dates of coverage include:

Produced by the American Chemical Society, SciFinder is a “research discovery tool” which allows for exploring the journal and patent literature from a range of scientific disciplines, including biomedical sciences, chemistry, engineering, materials science, agricultural science, and related sciences.

It includes online access to databases of the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) and to the MEDLINE database.

Sources include journals, patents, conference proceedings, dissertations, technical reports, and books.

In this resource you can:

• Explore scientific literature by research topic
• Identify the work of a specific author
• Find documents published by a specific company or organisation
• Draw a chemical structure, define its role, and find its reactions
• Locate substance information from a CAS Registry Number or a common name
• Locate a journal or patent when you can't remember the details
• Browse Table of Contents of journals to keep up-to-date with research
• Draw a chemical structure and find substructures that match
• Draw a chemical structure and find substances similar to your drawing

SciFinder Support & Training pages provide training materials such as tutorials, reference guides, strategies, and technical support.

The databases within SciFinder include:

CAS Databases:
