Biographical Index
This database contains biographical information from English-language
periodicals and books in all of the subject areas covered by the Wilson
Indexes. It covers articles, books, and autobiographies, including
individual personalities and collective biographies. The Biographical
Index begins, electronically, with 1984 and is updated monthly.
Book Review Digest
This database cites excerpts from reviews of current English-language
fiction and non-fiction books for adults and children. It covers
periodicals published in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain and
includes only those reviews that have appeared within 18 months of the
book's publication. The Book Review Digest begins, electronically, with
1983 and is updated monthly. The paper counterpart is available back to
1905 and can be found on the Index tables of the Daley Reference
collection Z1219.C95.
Education Abstracts
This database covers every age, aspect, and sector of the educational
community from preschool through college. It provides citations for every
article that is at least one column in length. It is part of the Wilson
index collection for which the Library has full text to selected articles
from the Wilson indexes. The Education Abstracts begins, electronically,
with 1983. This database supplements the print Education Index that goes
