- We bumped up our abstract and indexing subscription for Philosopher’s Index to a subscription that includes full-text content for the next year. Normally this is not something I would do, but it turns out the humanities *are* different and it was less than $700 – also our Religion liaison librarian paid for half. I don’t know if we will be able to provide this after this year, however since the price will go up to normal rates.
Temporary Access, Spring 2021

What is PolicyMap?
An online (no software installation needed) U.S. national data and mapping tool and analytics platform with multidisciplinary applications for college students and faculty. Undergraduate and graduate schools use us in their curriculum and research related to social sciences, urban studies, real estate and housing analysis, community and economic development, public administration, public health, policy and political science, education, business, economics, statistics, and geography, among others. Users can leverage thousands of U.S. data indicators in PolicyMap to perform demographic and socioeconomic analysis, from a neighborhood census block group in many cases, up to a national level, as well as create custom regions, for their research and studies.
