IPFW Access to Elsevier Collection
The IPFW community has been included in a major contract for research resources negotiated by Purdue University Libraries. Purdue trustees have agreed to a five-year, $13.5 million deal with Elsevier, one of the world's largest journal publishers, to provide full-text access to over 1,500 scholarly journals in the social sciences, sciences, technology, and medicine.
Included in the contract is a subscription to Scopus, the largest abstract and citation database of research literature in all fields including the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. Scopus covers over 19,000 titles from more than 5,000 international publishers.
This is the first time IPFW has been included as part of the Purdue University library system, and the collaboration significantly increases the research resources available to IPFW's academic community. Citizens of northeast Indiana can also access these resources from public workstations located in the Helmke Library.
