ARTICLEGATE - Whereas Globeportal opens doors to a comprehensive
bibliographic universe of whole documents and artifacts, "ARTICLEGATE", takes a more limited and
modest aim to retrieve bibliographic data describing journal articles, book chapters, reviews and other
component studies. It is intended to supplement the Paul Meek Library's bank of subscription electronic
databases and full-text
resources. Unlike these, the following 75 databases do not require a subscription. Most are small
and specialized. A handfull offer limited full-text resources. Some will take individual subscriptions
for retrieval of additional information, or will sell full text, but all give at least basic bibliographic
detail free of charge. Obtaining information from these may be more challenging than information
retrieval from subscription databases; retrieval mechanisms are varied, and some require a working
knowledge of languages other than English. Therefore, we suggest that UT Martin on campus and remote
users try the subscription databases first.
