new free EBSCO database: GreenFILE

FYI: EBSCO has made a new, free database available: GreenFILE

GreenFILE offers well-researched information covering all aspects of human impact to the environment. Its collection of scholarly, government and general-interest titles includes content on global warming, green building, pollution, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, recycling, and more. The database provides indexing and abstracts for approximately 295,000 records, as well as Open Access full text for more than 4,600 records.

This is on the EBSCOHost list of databases and I will add it to the EBSCO table on the All Dbs page.

It should also probably be added to the Physical Sciences Subject Guide?

I can put it in Math and Phys Sci wiki if you'd like, however, I know that CDL was discussing whether Environmental Sciences should be incorporated into all AOS. Would placing this in multidisciplinary be a stretch?

Ian,

at present, our subject guide directory says enviro studies goes in the Math and Physical Sciences guide - I suggest we stick with that for now - this database is too specialized to put in multidisciplinary, in my view.
