TRIALS: Gale Digital Collections
We now have trial access to 3 Digital Collections from Gale. They are:
The Making of the Modern World: The Goldsmiths'-Kress Library of Economic Literature 1450-1850:
The Making of the Modern World offers researchers new ways to understand the emergence of modern economics and other social sciences. It's the most comprehensive collection in existence for researching the literature of economics from this period. This unrivalled online library offers instant access to the theories, practices, and consequences of economic and business activity in the West, from the last half of the 15th century to the mid-19th century. It combines the strengths of two pre-eminent collections — the Goldsmiths' Library of Economic Literature at the University of London Library and the Kress Collection of Business and Economics at the Harvard Business School — along with supplementary materials from the Seligman Collection in the Butler Library at Columbia University and from the libraries of Yale University.
Trial access is available via the URLs below and runs through October 14.
