Database Trials
The Union Institute & University Library is currently considering subscriptions to the Health and Psychosocial Instruments database and the American History in Video database. Please try these resources and let us know if they will be useful for your courses and research.
American History in Video Trial
American History in Video includes approximately 1,000 hours of newsreels from the late 1890s to the 1980s. Beginning with the Spanish American War, the early films provide documentary footage of actual people, places, and events together with interviews and other broadcast content from the period.
In addition to the “officially received” perspectives offered by newsreels, this collection includes some 200 hours of rare, hard-to-find, and diverse perspectives as captured in a wide range of short films. These include items like Teddy (1968), an interview with a teenage African American; Supervising Women Workers (1944); and various promotional and amateur productions that capture the experience of blue collar workers in the American industrial economy. -Description from Alexander Street Press
Health and Psychosocial Instruments Trial (HaPI)
Health and Psychosocial Instruments (HaPI), produced by Behavioral Measurement Database Services, is a comprehensive bibliographic database providing information about behavioral measurement instruments. Information in the database is abstracted from hundreds of leading journals covering health sciences and psychosocial sciences. Additionally, instruments from Industrial/Organizational Behavior and Education are included. Records contained in HaPI provide information on questionnaires, interview schedules, vignettes/scenarios, coding schemes, rating and other scales, checklists, indexes, tests, projective techniques, and more." -Description from EBSCO Publishing
