Especially exciting for those faculty and students in the Cook-Cole College of Arts & Sciences department, we are excited to offer a trial of ARTstor until April 20th 2014. Please try it out and give us your feedback!
ARTstor is a digital library of more than one million images in the arts, architecture, humanities, and social sciences.

The Library has a 30 day trial to two new Psychology databases. PsycTESTS provides access to psychological tests, measures, scales, and other assessments as well as descriptive and administrative information. The database offers links to a variety of materials describing tests in peer-reviewed literature, technical reports, and dissertations as well as links to related peer-reviewed literature describing test development, review, and use. PsycTherapy includes more than 300 videos featuring therapy demonstrations showing clinicians working with individuals, couples, and families. Please try out both and let us know what you think about PsycTESTS and PsycTHERAPY.
VIVA institutions are offering a 30-day free trial of Films on Demand streaming video. Films on Demand is a web-based digital video library delivery service that allows you to view streaming videos from Films for the Humanities & Sciences, PBS, BBC, and many other channels. This service makes it easier to incorporate various educational programs into Blackboard and other distance learning courseware. Please go to the Films on Demand guide page for instructions to search and view films and provide us with your feedback.
Longwood users are invited to explore Films on Demand educational streaming videos in a free trial offered through VIVA (The Virtual Library of Virginia) for the month of May. The database offers high-quality video and multimedia from Films for the Humanities and Sciences, Cambridge Educational, Meridian Education, and Shopware. Browse by subject and search title or video segment by keyword, producer or standard.
Go to the Trial Databases guide to access Films on Demand, which is only open to Longwood faculty, staff and students through May 31, 2011.
Have you ever wanted to look for journal articles AND books from a single search box? The Greenwood Library invites you to try the “one-stop” EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) on trial through May 2011.
This search tool allows you to use the familiar EBSCOhost interface to search the Library’s catalog and many of our article databases at one time. Test it from the library home page.
We hope you’ll also tell us your impressions. The Greenwood Library is considering purchasing this product. Your feedback will help us determine if EDS is a useful tool for conducting research at Longwood University.
Here are a few things to note about the trial:
If you have questions about the trial, which ends May 31, 2011, please contact the Learning Commons at x2435 or refdesk@longwood.edu.
