Europa World of Learning Online - Updated and Expanded

For the first time subscribers may now download introductory essays. The five essays featured in the latest print edition of The Europa World of Learning are available, alongside all eight essays from the previous two editions of the book.

In addition to the regular updating of entries, a comprehensive renewal of listings for universities, deemed universities, institutes of national importance and colleges in India has been undertaken. All contact details and lists of administrative and faculty staff were included, and the accreditation status of every entry was verified.

The Regulatory and Representative Bodies section has been extended to cover all countries. It lists relevant ministries and other government bodies, organs for accreditation and quality assurance, funding bodies and other organizations of national importance in the higher education sector.

EBSCO Announces New NoveList Functionality

You will soon have the ability to simply, conveniently limit your searches directly from the NoveList home page, using radio buttons. For example, limit your searches by author, title, series or plot by clicking on the appropriate radio button and entering your search term(s) in the Find field. To view examples of the new buttons, click here.

Of course, if you would like to see all of NoveList's robust content associated with a given author, title etc., you can still enter your term(s) in the Find field without clicking on a radio button. Your results will include all of the book titles, Author Read-alikes, Recommended Reads and other articles and lists that are associated with your search term(s).

The development of this exciting enhancement was based upon requests from NoveList customers, gathered from the NoveList customer forum discussion at ALA, customer survey results and emails. EBSCO is listening, and they thank you for your continued use and support of NoveList. If you have any questions, please contact EBSCO at novelist@ebscohost.com
