New Year…New Resource: New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics Online

January 5th, 2009

At this time of year, many of us make resolutions about things we want to accomplish in the coming months. At Cole Library, we want to continue to provide the best, most relevant resources for the Cornell College community. So far, we’re off to a strong start.

Through generous support from the Berry Center for Economics, Business, and Public Policy, Cole Library now subscribes to the New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics Online, an excellent reference resource for not only students in economics and business courses, but also students in politics, sociology, computer science, and other disciplines. The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics contains 1,872 articles by 1,506 contributors, including 25 Nobel Laureates in Economics. The articles are written clearly to make them accessible to non-economists as well as specialists in the field.

Features of this online resource include

  • Quick Search or Advanced Search options
  • The ability to print articles
  • Links to related articles
  • Exportable citations
  • The option to create a personal “My Dictionary” account to save searches, bookmarked articles, and notes
