The EPIC Governance Group has just announced that The Ministry of Education has generously agreed to fund the subscription that allows all NZ schools free access to the EPIC e-resources for another year through to March 31, 2011.
Most New Zealand Schools have now registered to access EPIC through the portal on the TKI website, however, if your school has yet to do so, then check out the registration link for further information or contact Senga White, schools’ representative on the EPIC Governance Group. By registering to access the EPIC e-resources, the students and staff at your school are able to access a wide range of quality information in 19 fantastic databases from 5 of the world's leading e-resource vendors. These resources are: EBSCO Australia New Zealand Reference Centre MasterFile Premier Encyclopaedia Britannica Encyclopaedia Britannica Online (School Edition) Gale Cengage Biography Resource Center Books & Authors Business Reference Suite Contemporary Women's Issues Discovering Collection General OneFile Health & Wellness Resource Center History Resource Center Literature Resource Center Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center Student Resource Center Virtual Reference Library Oxford University Press Oxford Art Online Oxford Music Online Oxford English Dictionary Proquest Science Journals By following this link on the EPIC website you can find out more information and access user guides about each of the databases. Remember, the more schools use these valuable resources the better position the EPIC Governance Group is in to renegotiate with the Ministry of Education.
