The latest addition to the collection is American City Business Journals, which includes 40 metropolitan business publications featuring local business news, job postings, local business directories, and much more.  There are currently twelve databases available.

One important component to supporting your information needs will always be Using Libraries in Your Area. 

However, some practitioners need scholarly/academic research that might not be available in their local library.  After much planning, the Alumni office at Capella has put together a brand new iGuide.  This new iGuide features an all new Alumni Library!   The new Alumni Library is the “lite” version of what you are accustomed to using as a learner.  The databases available are:

  • Academic Search Alumni Edition

  • Business Source Alumni Edition

  • CINAHL

  • Dissertations and Theses Full text

  • Ebrary

  • ERIC

  • Psychology Journals (ProQuest)

  • SocINDEX (EBSCO)

This is an exciting resource you can look forward to, after you graduate from Capella.
