New Databases
Each year, the Trinity
library faculty spends a great deal of time and energy selecting new
resources to help you achieve your research goals. Our intent is to
make sure our faculty, students, and staff have access to the best selection
of articles and more, and that access to these items is as efficient as
possible.
The following databases
were added to our collection in Spring 2007. For a complete list of
the library's databases, visit the
