Wilson's OmniFile Full Text Mega

A note on OmniFile Full Text Mega on WilsonWeb.

The OmniFile contains indexing, abstracting databases and a certain amount of full text. The TCD link resolver is also on WilsonWeb, and links to other full text resources held by the Library if the full text isn’t in the OmniFile.

Omnifile Full Text, Mega Edition features all the content of these full-text databases as well the full runs of every full-text journal they index.

[However, please note, there are indexes within these databases which may not have corresponding full text within the database, for example in cases where a journal is not available electronically. In these cases, the TCD link resolver will lead from WilsonWeb to the Library catalogue for paper copies, where available.]:

Education
General Science
Humanities
Readers' Guide
Social Sciences
Wilson Business

For example: Social Sciences Full Text includes the Social Science Index: http://www.hwwilson.com/Databases/socsci.cfm
Social Sciences Index: This database delivers the same indexing offered in Social Sciences Full Text but SSI itself has no abstracts or links to full text articles.
TCD has access to [within the Wilson Omnifile full text mega] Social Sciences Full Text [Sept. 2010] and so has access to abstracts and links to full text articles in addition to the original Social Sciences Index.


OmniFile Full Text Mega on WilsonWeb also contains the full text from ONLY the journals in selected databases to which Wilson has full text rights, namely
Applied Science & Technology Full Text
Art Full Text
Biological & Agricultural Index Plus
Index to Legal Periodicals Full Text
Library Literature & Information Science Full Text


Some features of OmniFile' Social Sciences database [Sept. 2010]:
§ High quality indexing of over 625 periodicals as far back as 1983, nearly 400 of which are peer-reviewed.
§ Full text of articles from some 215 journals as far back as 1995.
§ Visit Journal Directory for a searchable list of the journals covered.
