WorldCat.org added to list of databases

By request, I have added WorldCat to the list of all databases. This new link directs users to WorldCat.org (the new free version of this service). Since this free version searches the complete WorldCat database, users may not have to use the pay-per search option available through First Search. The subscription (pay-per-search) version enables users to search multiple terms in specific fields (title, author, subject, etc.) and limit by characteristics such as format, date, or audience level.

Please look over the information provided on the info page for this resource (http://library.apsu.edu/inform/21WorldCat.htm) and let me know if you have any questions concerning this update.

New resource: SciFinder Scholar

APSU now has access to SciFinder Scholar. SciFinder Scholar is a research discovery tool that allows college students and faculty to access a wide diversity of research from many scientific disciplines, including biomedical sciences, chemistry, engineering, material science, agricultural science, and more! Created by CAS (a division of the American Chemical Society), it serves as an electronic version of Chemical Abstracts providing references from more than 9500 journals and patents from over 50 patent-issuing organizations. It also contains the world's largest collection of organic and inorganic substance information.

Please click here for an overview of all content available in SciFinder Scholar.

To access this resource, you will be required to download software onto your computer. Please see http://library.apsu.edu/inform/21SciFinder.htm for more information and installation instructions.

This software should be available on all Woodward Library public computers by early July 2007.

Links to SciFinder Scholar have been provided on the list of all databases along with the subject pages for chemistry, biology, engineering, and agriculture.
