NRC Research Press: What's New?

NRC Research Press: What's New?: "The Canadian Journal of Chemistry's electronic edition now includes back issues, thanks to a joint effort of the Canadian chemistry community and the publisher. During April 2006, volumes of CJC will become available on this Web site as they are completed, eventually including all issues starting from 1951, the first year the journal appeared under its current title. Electronic back issues will be available free for a one-month trial period"

Voyager EndUser 2006

Getting ready for 3 days in Chicago. All I ever see is the airport and the airport hotel where the meetings are held. It is usually a week or two further into spring than we are so that is nice. This year I plan to use the pool even if the airplanes are going over every minute about 100 feet above the pool.

I leave TO at the crack of dawn on Thursday and return after supper on Saturday. This year I even have a list of things to find out, not just general learning. And I volunteered again this year to monitor the Internet Cafe. I requsted a specific room ( it has a door that opens and a balcony ) but since I am arriving a little late I probably will get a crappy one on the main floor with no window to open. Last year they tried to put me on a back hall right at the back door -- no thank you. It did not feel safe at all.

Windows Live Academic has a page for Librarians

Windows Live Academic Information: Librarians

Welcome to the Windows Live Academic search information page for librarians. This page is designed to provide you with more information about Academic and how you can gain the most benefit from this service.


my favourite part "Academic search understands that libraries are a key part of the information and research process and we work closely with you to ensure we are delivering an offering that meets the needs and requirements you have identified."

So, who did they ask??

Two new tools I'm trying out today

http://calendar.google.com

and

http://academic.live.com

I already exported my personal appointments from Outlook and imported them into my "Family" calendar. Hopefully this will get me, my husband, and my children all organized :)

As for Windows Live Academic (beta) it is still quite limited and i don't, for some reason, like the interface. I will keep trying it to see how it improves.
