E-Research@Harvard Libraries
Tomorrow, Harvard Libraries will launch a new interface to their electronic resources. You can view it at http://e-research.lib.harvard.edu. From that page, you can get to e-journals and databases, or follow the URL: http://e-research.lib.harvard.edu?func=find-ej-1. Also included is CrossSearch, http://e-research.lib.harvard.edu?func=meta-1, which enables searching of multiple resources at once. You can choose a subject or select one or more databases to search.
