Welcome to Database of the Week — a feature from the Management & Economics Library (MEL).\u00a0 These weekly database snapshots will give you basic information about our most relevant and beneficial online resources.<\/p>\n
This Week\u2019s Featured Database: <\/strong> Purdue e-Pubs,<\/em> from Purdue University Libraries, in recognition of Open Access Week<\/a> October 18-25.<\/p>\n Link:<\/strong> http:\/\/docs.lib.purdue.edu\/<\/a><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Description\/focus:<\/strong> Purdue<\/em> e-Pubs<\/em> is the Purdue Libraries\u2013sponsored open access database of articles and other scholarly documents produced by members of the Purdue University community.<\/p>\n Start with this hint:<\/strong> Purdue e-Pubs<\/em> is similar to other article databases with options for a simple keyword search or advanced search.\u00a0 What makes it different, though, is the link on the left labeled Submit Research<\/strong>.\u00a0 If you have published an article and have retained your author rights<\/a>, you can add it to the Purdue Libraries digital collection and make your paper freely available online. Click on Submit Research<\/strong>, select your department from the resulting list, and create your account.\u00a0 Don\u2019t see your department?\u00a0 Contact Professor Mark Newton<\/a>, Purdue\u2019s Digital Collections Librarian, who will help your department or research center establish an e-Pubs collection. Mark is also available to answer any questions you may have about Purdue e-Pubs<\/em>, support for open access scholarship at Purdue, or tools for retaining publication copyright.<\/p>\n Why you should know this database:<\/strong> All publishing Purdue researchers have the opportunity to contribute research articles to the digital collections of the Purdue University Libraries through Purdue e-Pubs<\/em>.\u00a0 When you contribute, you can receive a monthly e-mail telling you how many times your articles have been downloaded. Purdue e-Pubs<\/em> is also the publication platform for several peer-reviewed, electronic journals published through the Purdue University Press<\/a>. A recent notable addition to Purdue e-Pubs<\/em> through the Press is Global Business Languages<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n How this database can be integrated into the curriculum: <\/strong>The work of Purdue University undergraduate and graduate students may also be deposited if the appropriate collection has been established. See, for example, the\u00a0 CFS Honors Program Undergraduate Theses<\/a> and the College of Technology Directed Projects<\/a>.\u00a0 Contact Professor Mark Newton<\/a> for more information about student work and Purdue e-Pubs.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Cost:<\/strong> Purdue Libraries pays an annual maintenance fee for the Digital Commons repository platform.<\/p>\n ——————————<\/p>\n Database of the Week comes to you from the Management & Economics Library (MEL).
