Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum Online

By Jes E Cooban, on 13 May 2009

We have a trial of the Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum Online until 11 June 2009.

The Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum systematically collects newly published Greek inscriptions as well as publications on previously known documents. It presents complete Greek texts of all new inscriptions with a critical apparatus; it summarizes new readings, interpretations, and studies of known inscriptions, and occasionally presents the Greek text of these documents. The online edition allows users to search the entire corpus for words, names and inscriptions. There are indexes and cross references to related texts.

E-books

By Jes E Cooban, on 15 October 2008

aristotle.jpeWe now have access to a package of ebook titles from Taylor & Francis. These titles are currently accesible by two routes:1) via eUCLid. An ebooks search with ‘taylor francis’ will bring up all titles to which we subscribe. Users can click on the SFX button, which will eventually take them to the full text of each title.

2) via this link http://ucl.etailer.dpsl.net Click on ‘ebooks’ to see the full list of titles and ‘open and read’ to access the text.

The IT Services team is also working on providing access via MetaLib. Please note that access is via IP address ONLY. This means that the titles are only accessible on-site. Taylor & Francis does not support IP and Athens authentication simultaneously so any users trying to access titles via the Athens route will be unsuccessful.
