Database Roadshow

This year’s 12th annual Database Roadshow is all about change.  Since the 2008 Roadshows there have been a number of enhancements and upgrades to both the NebraskAccess website and the databases.  Instead of focusing on a subset of the databases like we have the past two years, we are going to talk about changes and enhancements affecting many of our subscription services.

The ever-growing list of changes includes:

• New NebraskAccess website • New eLibrary interface • Enhancements to Wilson databases • New databases added to FirstSearch
