[Edlib] Updates to web databases, Cunningham Library

[Hughes, Stuart]

Dear subscribers to Ed-Lib

Just a note to let you know the Cunningham Library's databases have been
updated, and that one will be ceasing:


Database of Research on International Education (DRIE)
http://aei.dest.gov.au/AEI/PublicationsAndResearch/ResearchDatabase/
147 new records on international education - there are now over 6800
records in DRIE, on all aspects of international/export/transnational
education and international students.

**Note** we have recently received notification from DEST that they are
not renewing the contract for DRIE after 31st December 2007. DEST cited
insufficient usage and feedback from Australian users. If you have used
the Database and have found it to be useful to you or your clients we
encourage you to provide feedback or comment to DEST via the contact
given on the new additions page. Thanks. In the absence of funding the
December update of DRIE will possibly be the last.



EdResearch Online
http://cunningham.acer.edu.au/dbtw-wpd/sample/edresearch.htm
179 new records for Australian journal articles - there are now 17004
articles in the database that can be purchased online for $22.00 and
dispatched to your email account. As well as the pay-per-view material,
the database also includes over 5000 articles from freely accessible
Australian education e-journals. There are now over 20,500 articles in
total in EdResearch Online.

104 new records for theses. Details of new theses are welcome all year
round, email ert at acer.edu.au with questions and submissions.



Australian Education Index (AEI)
In all, 2169 new records were created for the Australian Education Index
