Welcome to this feature from the Management & Economics Library (MEL). These database snapshots will give you basic information about our most relevant and beneficial online resources. This week our hint leads you to a specific database but we are really featuring a quicker way of getting to our databases.
Tool name: MyMEL toolbar; from the Management & Economics Library.
Link: www.lib.purdue.edu/mel, on the left, in the second box, click on MyMEL toolbar, and download in seconds.
Description/focus: This toolbar lets you have all of the MEL resources with you on your laptop or in your office. The first dropdown on the toolbar next to the search box is the list of databases.
Start with this hint: In the Databases dropdown, select D-J, scroll all the way down to Journal Citation Reports from ISI. Select Search for a specific journal and then enter the title of the journal where your most recent article was published to see the journal’s impact factor.
Why you should know this tool: MyMEL gives quick access to the databases, but also provides links to your department home page as well as MEL’s home page, RSS feeds, and the Document Delivery logon page so you can get articles and books not available at Purdue.
How this will help students: In addition to the above links, students will appreciate the quick access to the Courses & Tutorials page under BizTools, and OWL and Software Remote under Research Tools.
