Informations

The Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries (CARL) has made its "UnCover" article database - covering over 14,000 periodicals - available for free searching. This database, containing more than 4,000,000 bibliographic citations, may be useful to your immediate research, as well as keeping up with trends by viewing the table of contents of those periodicals to which the Library does not subscribe. A few notes:
  1. This is a Fee-based service. While the database may be searched at no charge, you may obtain photocopies of useful articles using your credit card (MasterCard or Visa). You will be asked if you wish an article, then to enter your number and your mailing address. There is no requirement that you do so. *** Please be advised that the College will not reimburse you!***
  2. Bear in mind that not all periodicals in the CARL database are owned by the Millsaps Library! Millsaps currently acquires some 800 periodicals. Consult the online library catalog to determine if the Library subscribes to the journal title.
  3. CARL offers Name, Word, and Browse searching. "Name" is roughly the equivalent of author searching. "Word" is roughly the equivalent of title or subject searching. "Browse" may be used to view journal titles and their table of contents. (Type B, press Enter; Type journal title; Select line number of journal title; Select E to examine current issue information; Select line number to see issue contents.)
  4. For additional advice on searching the database please contact Mr. Jim Parks (PARKSJF, x1071) or stop by the Library Information Services Office during office hours (8:30 am - 5:00 pm).
