Summer is a time when our subscription e-resource providers often choose to launch new platforms and unveil improved, expanded offerings. One of these, this summer, is Britannica Academic, the direct descendant of Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Britannica Academic: Some advantages of its new platform:
- There are improved search and filtering options.
- It is possible to track every change and addition to an article using the ‘Article History’ option.
- Primary materials can be found in the add-on resource (automatic trial enabled by Britannica, until 12 September), ‘Original Sources’.
Britannica Digital Learning offers free 30-minute online training webinars. Sign-up, details and dates.
Have a look at Britannica Academic, or at any of the Library’s subscription e-resources, by visiting our Databases and E-Books page on the Library’s web site.
The Library provides access to its subscription databases, both on and off campus, to TCD-affiliated readers, but remember that you must access these resources via the Library site to be recognised as being ‘TCD-affiliated’.
