UPDATE: Journal of Geophysical Research

We will now have access to all seven JGR titles:

  • Earth Surface
  • Solid Earth
  • Planets
  • Atmospheres
  • Space Physics
  • Oceans
  • Biogeosciences

    • We previously only had access to the first four of these titles. During our renewal, we opted to save quite a bit of money by opting for the JGR All package, which will provide online-only access to the entire JGR series.

    We will no longer receive the print issues of any JGR titles. The new issues will be available online starting with the first issues of 2007, of which none have been released just yet.

    SciFinder Scholar Two-Fer

    A two-for-one for chemistry! Our renewal of SciFinder Scholar has given us two new upgrades!

    Substructure Module (SSM)
    This is a feature that some of you have requested, and was a free upgrade when we renewed. From the CAS website:

    " . . . ability to include variable groups and R-groups in your structure. By default, substructure searches retrieve exact results, plus substances with additional substitution and/or ring fusion."


    For more info, see http://www.cas.org/SCIFINDER/ssm.html.

    Two Concurrent Users
    Where previously only one person from W&L was able to use SciFinder at a time, we will now have two concurrent users. This will increase access greatly, and reduce turnaways.

    These upgrades will not take place until March 1. Stay tuned for software upgrades, if necessary.
