On Friday, staff members wearing commemorative T-shirts
gathered outside the Library and enthusiastically headed to Hermann Park to
participate in the last event of National Library Week, a two-mile walk
around the golf course.
The publications covered by SCOPUS are primarily
from the life and health
sciences fields. From 1996 onwards, SCOPUS covers all the journals
indexed in Medline and EMBASE (a database known for its coverage of
European medical and life science journals and drug information), as well
as titles in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and Engineering, Biology,
Agriculture, and Environmental Sciences. SCOPUS also covers the
proceedings of 750 conferences.
Please give SCOPUS a try soon and send your feedback
on its content,
features and interface to Leah Krevit, Associate Director for Collections
Management (leah.krevit@exch.library.tmc.
