The Wiley Digital Archives Royal College of Physicians is a rich collection of primary sources for those interested in history of science or history of medicine. The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) was founded in 1518 and is the oldest medical college in England. Items in the collection date from the fourteenth to twentieth centuries and include such sources as monographs on health research, public health reports, and doctors’ case books. Particularly useful and unique features of this product include the ability to download tabulated data from collection items as Excel and CSV files and maps as TIFFs or GeoTIFFs, which can then be imported into GIS software. Documents are transcribed via ATR/OCR technology and can be downloaded in their original languages or translated into several others. The major weaknesses of the product are a glitchy interface and confusing terminology/categories for the different document types. The search filters are also somewhat confusing. For those who are willing to deal with an interface and search engine that are less than ideal, the collection’s range and diversity may make it a good acquisition.

The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) Ultimate is a subscription aggregate health and allied health sciences database available exclusively from EBSCO. CINAHL Ultimate is the premier product in a lineup of five tiered versions, including CINAHL, CINAHL with Full Text, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, and CINAHL Complete. The database is widely used by educators, students, researchers, and practitioners. CINAHL Ultimate is valued for its substantial indexing of publications core to the nursing and allied health field, use of the MeSH structure for subject headings, and numerous options for advanced searching specific to the needs of the health sciences. The collection indexes more than 3,800 journals beginning in 1937, with 925 being offered full text from non‐open access journals and with a substantial number with no embargo. In particular, the number of full-text, peer-reviewed journals with no embargo available from non‐open access sources is a significant upgrade from CINAHL Complete, and one that may very likely justify the additional investment. Value-added features include accredited continuing education modules, evidence-based care sheets, and quick lessons. With contributing publishers from 73 countries, the majority hail from the United States and the United Kingdom. Some potential drawbacks for those considering CINAHL Ultimate may be the lack of video-based continuing education content and source material beyond academic journals, as well as the limited emphasis on international perspectives; such perspectives may be more evident in competitors such as ProQuest’s Nursing & Allied Health Premium and MEDLINE Ultimate.

Explore Census Data is the US Census Bureau's intended starting point for discovery of the data it collects through the decennial census and various other programs. It strives to be as user-friendly as possible and accessible to novice researchers and the general public. The sheer variety of data sets, geographic scales, and variables resists the use of a simple Google-like interface and can be daunting to users without data experience. However, the quantity and quality of data available from the Census Bureau make spending some extra time or seeking assistance worthwhile.

The British Union of Fascists: Newspapers and Secret Files, 1933‐1951 is a collection of primary source resources relating to the British Union of Fascists (BUF), an infamous fascist and anti-Semitic political party formed by Sir Oswald Mosley in 1932. The collection includes full runs of four BUF official publications (Action, The Blackshirt, The East London Pioneer, and Fascist Week), hundreds of scanned government and MI5 documents relating to the surveillance and eventual internment of Mosley and his wife, and personal writings by the Mosleys and other prominent BUF members. Scanned from the original documents housed in the National Archives and digitized into high-quality images, these documents offer important insights into the rise of fascism in Britain during and after World War II for scholars of political history and propaganda. Created by the British Online Archives (a primary source database owned by Microform Academic Publishers), the collection is well organized and easily navigable, with full-text search capabilities.
