OCLC FirstSearch

OCLC FirstSearch -- The FirstSearch Service provided by OCLC is a collection of online databases designed for library users. The Meriam Library maintains a block of searches which will allow us access the databases listed below. Since we have only a limited number of searches available, it is necessary to restrict access to FirstSearch. Please contact a Librarian for mediated searching.

We have access to four First Search databases that include full-text articles from periodicals. These databases are Business Dateline, Business & Industry, Business and Management Practices, Health Reference Center Academic and Wilson Select.
