Electronic Database Trials, February 2004

FIU Libraries has access to several databases on a short trial basis: Archives USA, Global Market Information Database , and SourceOECD. Feel free to utilize these databases to conduct research or to try them out during the trial periods.

The trials require logins and passwords for access. Please contact the Latin American and Caribbean Information Services Librarians, Catherine Marsicek, for login and password information. Most of these trials will only be available while on the FIU campuses, not from off-campus.

Please provide feedback to Catherine Marsicek, including ease of use of the electronic products and the importance of these resources for your research. Although the FIU Libraries cannot quarantee purchase of these products, your feedback will allow us to evaluate potential use.
