[Web4lib] RE: Spanish or French databases

Fri Sep 2 12:54:07 EDT 2005

Celia,
FirstSearch and EBSCOhost both allow you to translate the interface into
Spanish or French.  FS also provides an Index to Latin American
Periodicals in the Sciences and Humanities with their Base package.  It
is called ClasePeriodica. 

There are a number of websites. Four that are Spanish faculty asked us
to put links on our website for are http://www.cervantesvirtual.com/
http://analitica.com/bitblioteca/home/
http://autordelasemana.uchile.cl/
http://www.poesia-inter.net/

Others that provide digital libraries in Spanish and French are
http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/

http://www.utm.edu/departments/french/french.html

http://www.champs-elysees.com/

Maybe some of this will be useful.

Have a good Labor Day Weekend.

If anyone in the Gulf area has a spare room or any sort of assistance
they can provide to library workers and their families displaced by
Katrina, please email me <lisrochelle at gmail.com>and I'll forward to the
Gueaux Library Recovery List. At this point, there isn't much to do
except organize, and the Geaux group wants to be ready when that time
comes. Please consider joining the list to see how you can help.

Are there any other library community-based efforts under way? It'd be a
shame to be duplicating efforts.

Hi guys!  

Can you give me any suggestion?

I need to develop the foreign language collection of my library, and my
budget is very short (1,400.00). My university teaches only Spanish and
French. Do you have any suggestion about books, journals and databases
that provide text in French and Spanish?  Ah! If you know of a good
Spanish dictionary, please let me know.  

Thank you so much,

Celia

I too, am looking for a collection development policy/guidelines for our
engineering dept. If anyone has a policy catered to civil engineering,
electrical engineering, industrial engineering, and mechanical
engineering, please share with me.

After posting this to the NYLINE list, I thought it might also be
interest to WEB4LIB members and their respective patrons:

Middletown Thrall Library created a web guide about Hurricane Katrina:
http://www.thrall.org/katrina

Links include news items, emergency and relief organizations, blogs,
general information on hurricanes, and more.

The guide has been updated numerous times over the past couple of days
since it was established as new information became available, and it
will continue to be updated as is necessary.

Take care,
Robert

Interesting piece about Google's digitization efforts, by Steve Johnson,
Chicago Tribune Internet critic.

"To many copyright holders, though, the Google gambit feels a little
like a burglar announcing to homeowners that he is going to go ahead and
pillage their houses unless they specifically ask him not to."

Please help the librarians of NOPL reconnect. Their webserver and
mailserver are not working. Share widely.
