ENHANCED ELECTRONIC RESOURCES

JSTOR Biological Sciences Collection
http://www.jstor.org/
University Libraries now provides access to JSTOR's Biological Sciences Collection which contains over 100 titles. This collection brings together the 29 journals already available to UC users in JSTOR's existing Ecology & Botany Collection plus more than 70 titles new to JSTOR. Coverage in this collection offers greater depth in fields such as biodiversity, conservation, paleontology, and plant science, in addition to introducing new areas such as cell biology and zoology. The addition of the Biological Sciences Collection gives UC students, faculty, and staff access to every JSTOR collection currently available. JSTOR titles are typically accessed through links by journal title in the Library Catalog (http://uclid.uc.edu/search) and through UC's full-text journal Web page at http://aj2vr6xy7z.search.serialssolutions.com/.

JSTOR is a not-for-profit organization with a dual mission to create and maintain a trusted archive of important scholarly journals, and to provide access to these journals as widely as possible. This online archive offers researchers the ability to retrieve high-resolution, scanned images of journal issues and pages as they were originally designed, printed, and illustrated. Content in JSTOR spans many disciplines with over 600 arts & social sciences journals as well as titles in business, ecology & botany, general sciences, and mathematics & statistics.

RefWorks Scopus Edition
http://www.refworks.com/scopus.shtml
The RefWorks Scopus Edition is an add-on module to RefWorks that provides a seamless, integrated tool for searching and incorporating Scopus and RefWorks references into a bibliography. Any Scopus user with a RefWorks account can easily export Scopus database records into the RefWorks online bibliographic management tool. However, with this new RefWorks add-on tool, users can maintain a permanent and dynamic link between Scopus and each record exported into RefWorks. Scopus is a multidisciplinary navigational tool that contains index information, abstracts, and citation searching for science and social science scholarly literature. To learn more about Scopus, read the October UCLibraryLINKS available online at http://www.libraries.uc.edu/information/news/UCLibraryLinks/Oct05.html. To learn how to use RefWorks, University Libraries offers regular workshops. A full workshop schedule is available online at http://www.libraries.uc.edu/instruction/workshop/list_current.php.
