New Product Announcement-->Henry Stewart Talks
Henry Stewart talks. Biomedical & life sciences collection
Oddly compelling, this is a collection of audio lectures with accompanying slides covering a wide range of topics. The product received a raft of positive comment from faculty when we tested it in the summer, and, while it seems a bit quaint in presentation, it does appear to be very useful as a teaching and learning supplement.
BibServices will be including marc records for the individual talks in the near future. Aaron did some work with the HST group and was able to determine they are in the process of preparing what looks to be some good quality records.

New Product Announcement-->TALES Online
Tales Online
Tales Online is a database of folktales, fairytales, myths of indigenous peoples, legends, sagas, and fables of world cultures in collections. All of the texts and notes are exact duplication of the original and no attempt has been made to either alter the style or wording contained in the original collection. Although at times the language is awkward, it is true to the original.
The collections contained in the database includes journal articles, archival material, and tales contained in printed volumes. Each tale is analyzed by a professional or advanced student folklorist. The analysis includes: an identification of the "genre" of the tale; a notation is made if the tale is field collected or adapted. (A field collected tale is spoken by a storyteller -- anyone who is telling a story--and the tale is recorded by an individual listening to the tale. The tale is either published in a journal, placed in an archive for listening, or is later selected for inclusion in a collection in a book.) Along with the preceding the analyzer identifies the "tale type," "motifs," (a classification system of individual events which occur within a tale,) identification of characters appearing in the tale and their role, (see glossary for an explanation of the various roles possible,) and the various settings that appear in the tale.
These analyses help identify various elements of a tale in which a user may be interested. For example: role--hero, villain; setting--forest, the sea, a cave; and any other terms which may appear in the description for each tale type or motif. The use of these various analyses enable one to locate a number of tales that contain similar elements.
To aid in the selection of appropriate tale(s) a short summary has been written for each tale and appears on the results page along with the title and the source of the tale. This enables you to include all of the information for each tale in a bibliography if needed.

New Product Announcement-->Waterloo directory of English newspapers and periodicals, 1800-1900
Waterloo directory of English newspapers and periodicals, 1800-1900
Here is a directory to the largest single body of historical documents arising out of nineteenth century England at the height of the British Empire. This empire was by some measures the most powerful and influential in the history of civilization: she held sway over the largest land mass and the greatest proportion of the world’s people. Having become in the 19^th century one of the most literate of all societies, England established the Victorian periodical and newspaper press as a primary vehicle of participatory democracy. The /Directory /provides a more comprehensive, detailed and useful bibliographical record (including Locations and facsimile Title Pages) than we yet have for printed books, government publications or manuscripts of the century. It is subject-comprehensive, intending to include every periodical and newspaper published on a regular basis, from daily to annually, in every language, within England: a goldmine for cultural historians, genealogists and all subject specialists. Newspapers and periodicals were more than one-hundred-fold the volume and readership of printed books.

New Content in World Development Indicators
One of the major changes is that WDI Online now has 854 indicators available for 209 economies and 18 groups from 1960 to 2007, where data are available. This is an increase of over 100 indicators from 2007!
The other major change in the data is that we are no longer showing a combined entry for Serbia and Montenegro, these are now shown separately. Please note however, for Serbia, some indicators, such as those series for which data appear only for Serbia and not Montenegro--e.g. aid, environment, external debt, balance of payments, various social indicators excluding population--continue to include data for Montenegro through 2005.
