Newly Activated Database Trials

The Furman University Libraries are offering a selection of database trials throughout Spring Semester. To discover and access trial databases, visit the library’s guide for Electronic Resources Trials.

The most recently added trial is to Roper Center iPOLL and will be available through Monday, April 17, 2017.

This trial provides access to iPOLL, a comprehensive, text-searchable database of over 650,000 polling question results from the US since 1935. Approximately 100,000 items also include responses by standard demographics, like age, region, gender and income. All of the major polling organizations in the US are included in iPOLL.
Trial restrictions:  While not part of the trial, a subscription to this resource will provide access to the datasets and documentation required to conduct bivariate and multivariate analyses on archived surveys using RoperExpress.
You can browse the catalog of dataset holdings at: https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/CFIDE/cf/action/catalog/
A subscription will also include access to RoperExplorer, where several thousand studies from 2000-2015 are prepared for use with an online analysis tool—meaning crosstabs are available without programming. Just point-and-click the variables you wish to analyze, and tables are generated.This trial will be available through Monday, April 17, 2017.
We would like your feedback about our trials.  Our feedback form is simple, and will take you less than 2 minutes to complete.
