Two new databases from Hunter Library

Hunter Library has subscriptions to two new databases that will be of interest to many of you. While the focus is technology, they should benefit most people in the COB.

Faulkner Advisory for IT Studies (FAITS)

Contains hundreds of detailed reports on the “critical issues, trends, market conditions, products, services, and vendors driving the information technology industry.” Topics covered include:

• IT infrastructure
• Telecommunications
• Wireless communications
• Data networking
• Convergence
• Information security
• Enterprise systems
• Internet and Web
• Technology vendors

Reports on IT topics in healthcare and government have recently been added.

Other cool stuff: software selection guides for different industries (e.g. accounting), standards reports, product reviews, and best practice tutorials.

Faulkner Security Management Practices

Reports are formatted like those in FAITS but cover all areas of security management from bomb threats to SPAM.

As always, let me know if you have questions or need help with these databases.
