IngentaConnect
Content: | Content: Billed as the "most comprehensive collection of academic and professional publications," IngentaConnect is an aggregator database providing access to two types of content. The Fax/Ariel Content portion of this database (formerly known as CARL Uncover, Uncover Reveal) provides access to the tables of contents from nearly 29,000 popular, trade, and scholarly journals published since 1988, and updated daily. Search the database by publication title, by keywords in the title or abstract (if an abstract is available), or by author. Although there is no proper full-text or subject search capability, the sheer size of the database makes it a very comprehensive periodical database. IPFW faculty, staff, and students may establish a free account to receive weekly search alerts or the tables of contents of particular periodicals by e-mail. The Electronic Content portion of the Ingenta database provides subscriber access to more than 6,000 full-text periodicals. IPFW currently subscribes to approximately 50 full-text titles through IngentaConnect, which are coded with an  icon. A Browse Publications search offers the option to limit your search to Subscribed Publications and Free Content Only. Articles needed for rush delivery may be ordered from the fax/Ariel database using a credit card. |
