I thought someone else would mention the NSDL (National Science Digital Library) so I didn't send it...now I realize I have to speak up. NSDL is the Nation's FREE online library for education and research in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. http://nsdl.org/ I spoke with NDSL representatives at both the NECC in Philadelphia and AASL in Pittsburgh. They have print info about the data base, as well as a MARC record. It was the first time I had even heard of it, and I've used a lot since then for access to resources and info on all kinds of sci/tech requests. I've given the info to my science department, but I don't know whether they've used it or not... Have fun! Barb Barbara Kane High School Library Media Specialist Southwestern Central School Jamestown, NY bkane@swms.wnyric,org -----Original Message----- From: School Library Media & Network Communications [mailto:LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU] On Behalf Of Shonda Brisco Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 1:06 PM To: LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Subject: Re: [LM_NET] HIT: Science Databases Thanks to everyone who has offered suggestions for this problem. My teacher has his PhD and the classes (AP) do research into the most current medications on the market (many of which are currently released and have been reviewed in the New England Journal of Medicine---no this is not a medical school disguised as a high school....it's just this teacher's thing to do this type of research.) Anyway, here are some suggestions for Science Databases. I'm posting the list of ideas and some links, if others are interested. I'm going to give all of these to him to review. If I get no response or a negative response, I'll assume that nothing will please this teacher (unless we become a part of the of John Hopkins Library). Here's the list: ******************************** AllLearn Directory http://www.alllearn.org/er/directories.cgi How about The Reference Suite @ FACTS.com , the Today's Science on file? http://www.facts.com/facts-db-ref.htm General Science Full Text database AccessScience by McGraw Hill (the folks who put out that big science print encyclopaedia we all had). http://www.accessscience.com/ WilsonWeb Science database Have you looked at http://www.scirus.com/srsapp/aboutus/ Since we can only afford "free" info, we use the following two sites for "advanced" science articles, lectures and papers: http://infomine.ucr.edu/ http://bubl.ac.uk/ Get a subscription to Dialog. It gives you access to hundreds of databases and you pay only when you are searching. you may want to take a look at H.W. Wilson's Science Full Text Online. Our review is available at the following link: http://www.evalutech.sreb.org/search/reviewdetail.asp?Code=13337 Access Science which is the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology online As far as Information Science and Technology goes, there is a database by the name of InfoSci Online offered through Idea Group Inc that is extremely comprehensive - it pretty much has articles with everything that technology touches - mainly in science. For further information, go to www.idea-group.com. I got a trial earlier this year on a science database offered by Facts on File. My science teachers liked it. I'd also suggest going to a university library website to find out what they subscribe to. University of Minnesota-Duluth is pretty good. Try www.d.umn.edu. and follow the links to the library databases. We use Science Online Their web page is www.fofweb.com. My science teachers like it alot.Very concise exactly what they need. You might let him trial Access Science: http://www.accessscience.com/ Thanks for helping! ~Shonda Shonda Brisco, MLIS US / Technology Librarian Fort Worth Country Day School Fort Worth, TX "Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible." ~St. Francis of Assisi sbrisco@fwcds.org http://www.fwcds.org/campus/libraries/default.asp -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
