The fashion and style forecaster service, WGSN, is available now.
The site predicts trends in the cultural climate weeks and months ahead.
It follows fashion industry news and trade shows, and offers thousands of images of hip people who don’t live in Wolverhampton.
Zetoc is unavailable due to hardware problems, according to supplier MIMAS. They will inform us when the problem is resolved.
We have a trial of EBSCO’s Humanities International Complete which provides full text of hundreds of journals and books in the humanities from around the world.
The trial runs from 6th October to the 6th November. You’ll find a link to the trial on our Current database trials page too.
We’d be grateful for feedback please.
A recent survey carried out for the prestigious Frankfurt Book Fair, which consulted 840 experts in the international publishing industry, concluded that digital publishing sales will overtake print sales, in 2018. Presently, however, the proportion of digital sales is comparatively low. These conclusion were reported in a recent post of the Bookseller.com and the views probably represent publishing as a whole; developments within academic/research publishing are likely to be quicker.
We have a very short three-day trial to WGSN - the ‘world’s leading fashion and style forecaster’. The trial starts … now.
Please contact us for the username and password.
