Trial: Journal of Global History

The Library has a free trial to Journal of Global History. The trial expires March 12, 2012.

Journal of Global History addresses the main problems of global change over time, together with the diverse histories of globalization. It also examines counter-currents to globalization, including those that have structured other spatial units. The journal seeks to transcend the dichotomy between 'the West and the rest', straddle traditional regional boundaries, relate material to cultural and political history, and overcome thematic fragmentation in historiography. The journal also acts as a forum for interdisciplinary conversations across a wide variety of social and natural sciences.

ScienceDirect Outage

ScienceDirect, the online platform for Elsevier journals, will be down for scheduled maintenance this Saturday, March 12, starting at 10 p.m. Hawaii time. The outage is scheduled to last until midnight. The University of Hawaii at Manoa currently has access to approximately 2,000 journals via ScienceDirect.
