ECU has recently negotiated access to IGI Global resources under another successful Evidence Based Acquisition (EBA) program.

You can use the excellent IGI Global to find academic research in a few key areas:

  • business and management (including media and communications)
  • science, technical and medical (include security and forensics)
  • education

You can now instantly search and access over 7000 titles across:

  • IGI Global eBook Collection
  • Research Anthologies

Any items selected will be added to Library Collections.

Content highlights

What we really like about these databases are their relevance to business students, and their focus on social sciences content.

The ‘tech’ content relates to technological applications in business, education and healthcare.

Some of the content is United States based, which can be useful for a perspective outside Australia.

Here’s an indication of quantity of newly available content, in key areas:

  • business – almost 1500 titles
  • computer science and information technology – over 1000 titles
  • education – almost 3000 titles
  • media and communications – over 500 titles
  • security and forensics – over 250 titles

The platform lists these research-friendly features:

  • unlimited simultaneous access
  • content is available as it’s published (no embargo periods)
  • no Digital Rights Managements (giving greater access)
  • Full-Text HTML and PDF viewing options
  • formatted citations with ability to export to various reference managers

Get started

Please make use of IGI Global databases by logging in via ECU Library’s A-Z list of databases.
