Take a minute and let Anali tell you about some of the great features of EBSCOhost Academic Search™ Premier.
Don’t know what it is?
Academic Search™ Premier is a great place to start your research for almost any subject. Academic Search Premier is a research database – like a specialized search engine – that provides fast access to the full text of over 8,450 journals when you need results now! You can also directly export your citations into your favorite bibliographic management software.
ASU Foundation’s Office of Foundation Relations, the ASU Libraries, and OVPREA/PRIDE are delighted to announce university-wide access to Foundation Directory Online (FDO), the premiere searchable online database for philanthropic activity. FDO delivers more than 98,000 grantmaker profiles, access to grantmaker IRS statements, interactive charts and maps of grantmaking activity, and the ability to subscribe to RFP and other alerts that deliver customized research results to your desktop.
Access to this important research tool is the result of an ongoing collaborative effort to build research capacity across the university and increase philanthropic support for strategic research priorities, top-level investment opportunities, and individual faculty research. The FDO online database is accessed via the ASU Libraries and will be supported jointly by OFR, ASU Libraries, and OVPREA/PRIDE.
H1N1 Flu (formerly called Swine Flu) has captured the global community’s attention and carries high stakes implications for us all. It punctuates our connectedness and need for quick access to information that we can apply to the multiple roles we play. Information needs arise from our multiple roles as global citizen, scholar, researcher, teacher, student, co-worker, neighbor, caregiver, and potential flu patient.
Responding to this need, ASU health sciences librarians developed an information page on H1N1 Flu providing quick access to the most updated and authoritative information. The H1N1 Flu LibGuide is found online at http://libguides.asu.edu/h1n1flu
The H1N1 Flu information is intended for information purposes only and not as a substitute for consultation with a healthcare professional.

On Monday August 24th, the PURL server at the Government Printing Office suffered a significant hardware failure. GPO staff has been working at the highest level of priority to re-establish server access. As of Monday August 31st, only 3.1% of the over 166,000 links have been restored.
For the ASU Libraries, this means that the majority of links to electronic government publications in the ASU Catalog will not work until the servers are completely restored. For additional help during this time with accessing government publications, please call the Government Document Reference staff at 965-3390 or e-mail them directly at http://lib.asu.edu/govdocs/govdoc-info.
