EBSCO Adds Textile Database, Announces Backfile Project
Textile Technology Complete, a new full-text database from EBSCO Publishing (www.ebscohost.com), is now available. The database provides coverage of the scientific and technological aspects of textile production and processing. Textile Technology Complete is the full-text counterpart of Textile Technology Index, formerly the Institute of Textile Technology’s Textile Technology Digest. The database traces the body of knowledge in textile science and technology dating as far back as the early years of the 20th century. Textile Technology Complete includes full text for more than 50 journals as well as more than 50 books and monographs. The database contains indexing and abstracting for more than 460 periodical titles and for thousands of titles drawn from books, conferences, theses, technical reports, trade literature, and more. The International Political Science Association (www.ipsa.org) and EBSCO Publishing are bringing all the bibliographic records in International Political Science Abstracts (IPSA), starting with the first volume, exclusively on EBSCOhost—making an additional 24 years available. The backfile project allows researchers to access IPSA records, via EBSCOhost, that date back to 1951 for the first time. The International Political Science Abstracts has provided nonevaluative abstracts of articles in the field of political science since 1951. The newly digitized content adds more than 45,000 records to the database. Source: EBSCO Publishing
