INTRODUCTION
A number of valuable sites for those seekinglocal or regional resources. We have gathered some of these here and have arranged them into two major categories: Databases and Websites: A Classified Library.
For books and other materials (print and electronic) in the Library collection, be sure to check our catalog.
ABI INFORM GLOBAL/HOOVERS, part of a collection from Proquest and a premier source of business information for over 30 years, provides full-text and full image information from thousands of periodicals and other sources. The noted Hoover's Handbooks are accessed via this database through a system known as "IntelliDocs." These sources are a key resource for anyone interested in the economic base of the Tusculum College service area.
BIOGRAPHY RESOURCE CENTER + THE COMPLETE MARQUIS WHO'S WHO, via Infotrac II, includes full-text articles from hundreds of periodicals as well as the text of various biographical sources, including current and past issues of the Marquis Who's Who publications. A helpful resource for those seeking information on citizens of our area.
CUSTOM NEWSPAPERS, from Gale Corp. via Infotrac II, provides full-text articles from 40+ U.S. newspapers, including several from this area. An important and easy way to keep up with regional affairs.
TENNESSEE ENCYCLOPEDIA holds a wealth of information on the Volunteer State, including history, biography, stats; an exact copy of the print edition.
