The Library is currently trialing two new databases. Let us know what you think!

Play Index covers the works of contemporary playwrights, including new editions and translations. Since important classic and historical plays are reprinted in collections and anthologies, researchers will find virtually any play being studied or performed.

AtoZ World Business is a comprehensive country-by-country resource for international business and trade. It consists of 100 country business guides of 108 topics each and 76 world trade resources.

As always, if these databases are useful for your research, please leave a comment here or contact our electronic resources librarian.

During this time, off-campus users will need to use the UNH VPN to access restricted library resources, including databases.
