New Product - Scopus (Elsevier)
The library has recently subscribed to Scopus (Elsevier) which is one of the most comprehensive indexing tools available. It covers over 15,000 peer-reviewed titles, conference proceedings and patents. It also has a citation search feature like Web of Science and Google Scholar.
It will be added to our Research Database List shortly so in the interim it can be accessed at:

Hello. I write to bring your attention to an ethical conflict of interest that affects academicians, researchers, and anyone who uses Scopus.
Reed Elsevier’s Elsevier division is a monolith of the publishing world, producing thousands of books and journals in many disciplines, in additions to tools such as Scopus. But another division, Reed Exhibitions, strives to ensure that everyone in the world has enough weapons—by hosting arms fairs. Disseminating knowledge would seem to be drastically at odds with helping to disseminate weapons that wound, torture, and kill.
Richard Smith, longtime editor of the British Medical Journal, has written an editorial (in the current issue of the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine) calling for a boycott of Elsevier.
Please consider joining the boycott, even if that means dropping Scopus.
Go here for details.
