Search for full text in SPIN (Searchable Physics Information Network) Web

I have activated Open URL submission (the ability to "search for full text") to the SPIN Web database. We currently have access to full-text for the American Journal of Physics, Physics Teacher, and Reviews of Modern Physics thorough this database. It also contains the abstracts of over 80 scientific journals published by the American Institute of Physics and its Member Societies since 1975.

Although we may not have full-text for many of the other journals indexed by this database, using Article Linker to search for full-text should provide a link on the results page for users to populate the ILL request form for ILLiad with the proper citation information.

Users may also use the RefWorks link on the bottom of the Article Linker results page to import citation information directly into RefWorks.

New database: Emergency Disasters Data Base (Em-Dat)

By request, the free resource Emergency Disasters Data Base (Em-Dat) has been added to the list of all library databases and the Geology and Geography subject pages. Please let me know if there are any questions concerning this addition.
