Wiley Interscience to be Replaced by Wiley Online Library


The Library currently has a subscription to Wiley Interscience -- a database that contains articles from about 1200 journals, mainly focusing on the sciences. On Saturday, July 24, the Wiley Interscience interface will be replaced by a new interface, Wiley Online Library.

According to the Wiley Online Library website,
the new interface will be "easier to navigate, more intuitive with a modern design."

For more information about the upcoming change, see the FAQs page, or view screen shots of the interface on the Wiley Online Library Facebook page (!).

Earth Day and Library Resources

Earth Day seems like an appropriate day to feature a few of the library's many environment-related resources.

  1. Environmental Studies Subject Guide. Its main page includes links to thirteen article databases provide coverage of this multidisciplinary topic.
  2. Included in this subject guide is the databases Environmental Sciences and Pollution Management, and a search for "earth day" results in 102 references, in an interestingly wide array of documents.
  3. NewsBank, a newspaper article database with worldwide coverage, now has a "World Environment - Earth Day" special report. It includes current and historic articles covering this year's Earth Day, its history, environmental issues around the world, and other related topics.
