New & Free Databases from EbscoHost

Everybody likes to get something for free and here at the Library we're no exception! That's why we're excited about Ebsco's free databases that are available.



GreenFILE offers well-researched but accessible information covering all aspects of human impact on the environment. Its collection of scholarly, government and general-interest titles include content on the environmental effects of individuals, corporations and local/national governments, and what can be done on each level to minimize negative impact.

Topics include global warming, green building, pollution, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, recycling, and more. GreenFILE is multidisciplinary by nature and draws on the connections between the environment and a variety of disciplines such as agriculture, education, law, health and technology.

I've done a quick search for: environmental economics and found 700 + articles.

Library, Information Science & Technology Abstract (LISTA)
Topics includes online information retrieval, information management and more. Coverage in the database extends back as far as the mid-1960s.
