These databases have been made available by their vendors for limited trials so that Carthage patrons can test the quality of their information and their ease of access. The products offered will change from time to time, so it is important to note the expiration dates and make the best use of the databases while they are available.

ONGOING DEMOS
Aluka
Aluka is building a networked digital library of scholarly resources from and about Africa, after the model of JSTOR. The name, 'Aluka,' is derived from a Zulu word meaning 'to weave,' reflecting its mission to create world-wide connections. The first content area is focused on African Plants, followed by Struggles for Freedom in Southern Africa, and African Cultural Heritage Sites and Landscapes. The trial will be available on campus only. An instruction manual can be found at
