papers in a particular subject area e.g. SPORTDiscus (sport and exercise science),
Science Direct (Science) or IEEE Xplore (computing and engineering)
•Specialist/Themed information e.g. WGSN Lifestyle and Interiors (trends,
forecasting, news, inspiration) and Mintel (business, industry and marketing
information)
•Specific information types such as British Standards Online (Standards), Global
Newsstream (newspapers) and Box of Broadcasts (TV and radio programmes)
•Individual resources such as Britannica Online (encyclopedia)
