We have a 30 day trial of BBC Motion Gallery.
It’s a vast collection of moving imagery from the BBC on topics such as current affairs, sport, natural history, medicine, geography, and the arts.
The Gallery will include additional footage from other content partners such as CBS News, NHK and RipCurl.
The Burney Newspaper Collection of news media from the 17th and 18th centuries, is ready to use now.
It has newspapers and news pamphlets, mostly published in London – but includes some English provincial, Irish and Scottish papers. It also has a few examples from the American colonies, Europe and India.
The database called British Newspapers 1600-1900, which you’ll also see on the Gale site, brings together the Burney collection and the 19th Century British Library Newspapers collection, into one searchable package.
Both are brought to us by JISC, free of charge.
There’s a reported problem with HeinOnline searches via SuperSearch.
Situation: All Hein connections, except for Hein Online Law Journal Library, need redevelopment to fulfill new authentication requirements.
Status: Connections in testing.
SuperSearch has severed all connections to Google – “effective immediately” .
It means that you won’t get Google results from SuperSearch searches from now on.
It’s because of Google’s terms of use. The terms say that federated search engines are not allowed to display the results from Google “properties”.
Serial Solutions, which provides SuperSearch, have only just read them, it seems.
