The birds of Summer

"Some birds are poets, and sing all summer." 
-- Henry David Thoreau, journals, July 1852.

bird helps selectors, public services librarians, collection analysts and advanced researchers stay current on all research databases.

When you use bird, you know what is out there--and save time spent wandering the web. Here is the latest on recent bird additions:

*  376 new database profiles added since February

As editorial work expands, bird editors have identified additional titles beyond the original 7,500 included in the February launch.

Although most of these titles are parts of series that we had not previously covered, we are monitoring and adding new for 2024 vendor titles, such as Adam Matthew’s Women’s Voices and Life Writing, 1600-1968 and Gale’s Declassified Documents Online, Twentieth-Century British Intelligence: Monitoring the World.

We also have added over 30 new open access titles since February. A few examples are the CaseLaw Access Program (law); the Dave Brubeck Collection (music); Uncrewed Systems & Robotics Database (engineering); and Prices and Wages by Decades (economics).
