WHAT’S NEW:
* In honor of our 16th anniversary, The Informed Librarian Online is partnering with Emerald Publishing to bring all Premium Members full-text access to Emerald’s library journals. At all times you have free access to all of the Emerald journals and the backfiles of these titles. You can read them, print them, and search for articles at their site. To view and link to the titles, go to <https://www.informedlibrarian.com/emeraldaccess.cfm>

Highlights – expanded access for free members:
– The archives are open to everyone without a password. The full-text of the articles in the archive are still password-protected for Premium Members only.
– ILOSearches are open to everyone without a password and will allow you to see how many results (hits) are in the database.
– There is an ILOSearch box on every page of the site to make searching easier, or you can click directly on the Advanced Search link to get to the full search page to do more complex searches.
– All of the Picks of the Month found on the left of each screen (with the exception of the Featured Articles), are open to everyone.
