NEW ONLINE RESOURCES AVAILABLE January 1, 2007
For the past eight years a large selection of databases, purchased by the Idaho Commission for Libraries (ICFL) and Idaho Public Schools with a $500,000 appropriation from the Idaho State Legislature, have been available to all citizens and libraries in Idaho. Linking Idaho databases (LiLI-D) are online services providing full-text articles from magazines, professional journals, newspapers, and reference books to all Idaho residents. Best of all, LiLI-D is free to all Idahoans.
A new four year database contract has been signed, effective January 1, and the major vendor has changed from EBSCO to Thomson Gale. The current package of LiLI-D resources will remain available until December 31, 2006. The new LiLI-D package (the individual products are listed below) will become available on January 1, 2007.
