PowerPacks Upgrade

Six of the PowerPacks available to Knowledge Ontario will be upgraded. Along with additional content, there is also a change in the database code. No change on your part is required if you access the databases from the Gale common menu. If you have created a web page for your institution and use direct links to access these Powerpacks, then you will need to change the hyperlinks. The urls are available on this web page : PowerPacks Upgrade

Google Scholar

The full text journals in Academic OneFile are now available from Google Scholar for residents of Ontario.

Google Scholar is a freely-accessible Web search engine that indexes the full text of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines.

We have set up a profile for Knowledge Ontario patrons. This is based on the IP addresses that have been provided to Gale through the registration process. If you log on to Google Scholar, it will recognize your IP as coming from Ontario and give you access to the journals in the Academic OneFile database.

First go to the Google Scholar site:

http://scholar.google.com/ or http://www.googlescholar.com/

Check the Scholar Preferences link [ next to the search button ]

Under Library Links you should see the following :

Knowledge Ontario - AONE Full Text @ KO

This lets you know that you have been recognized based on your IP address as being from Ontario . If this link is not visible, type in “knowledge”, click the “Find Library” button and the “Knowledge Ontario - AONE Full Text @ KO ” link will show up. Click to activate. Click on the “Save Preferences” button [top, right hand corner]

To do a search, go to the search screen and type in the name of a journal.

e.g. ABA Banking Journal

You will see citations with a link to access the full text [AONE Full Text @ KO]. An example is shown below:  

Career Opportunities in Banking.
