New Product Announcement-->Geoscience World
GeoScience World
A big addition in that it provides electronic access to key journals in one of the University's areas of focus.
Serves as a comprehensive resource for research and communications in the geological and earth sciences. It is built on a core database aggregation of peer-reviewed journals indexed, linked, and inter-operable with GeoRef.
This means you can search GeoRef from this site as well as through our webspirs platform. However, while GSW is set up as a SFX target (you can link from other sites to articles in GSW) it does not appear to work as an SFX source (allowing linking out of GSW to other full text sites). I think this means that GeoRef through WebSpirs will still be a good option.

SocIndex with Full Text
This is a significant addition to our resources. I think it will be of use for any type of social science question, and a key tool for undergraduates. I'd encourage you to give it a whirl while on the desk and try it out with some suitable questions.

The ESP Tool
Researchers have always used each others work as building blocks in finding information (citation tracking). Building approaches like this into databases could help give users an useful alternative to controlled subject headings and keywords.
