Caribbean Search

Caribbean Search is an EBSCO database. It’s a good source for full text, English language articles and other publications on the peoples and countries of the Caribbean. It provides articles from scholarly journals, magazines, and newspapers, as well as reports and reference materials. The database’s coverage of these various publications can differ substantially, being anywhere from a few years to several years to decades. Its basic and advanced searches are easy to use and often produce useful results. Generally, these results can be displayed, navigated, printed, cited, saved, and/or forwarded without difficulty. Numerous forms of authentication are available to subscribers, including user name/password and IP authentication. Remote access is also available. The technical requirements for access are fairly standard and shouldn’t concern potential subscribers. The provisions of its licensing agreement are also standard. However, it doesn’t address price, length of subscription, or the conditions under which the subscriber can terminate the agreement.
