Library Display on the Arch and its Architect

The library's current display features the work of Eero Saarinen, the architect who designed the St. Louis Arch and Dulles International Airport. The Arch was completed in October of 1965, making it 40 years old in 2005. If you're at the library, stop at the display cases and take a look!

SCOPUS now available for 1 year at UMR

UMR has been granted trial access to SCOPUS for an entire calendar year. From the Scopus site:

Scopus is a multidisciplinary navigational tool that contains records going back to the mid 1960s, offering newly-linked citations across the widest body of scientific abstracts available in one place.

Designed and developed with researchers and librarians, Scopus is the easy way to get expert results. It offers superior support of the literature research process. Integrated web search plus seamless linking to full-text articles and other library resources make Scopus quick, easy and comprehensive.

Scopus is currently available only to UMR affiliates within the UMR domain (131.151.x.x). Off-campus proxy server support will be coming soon.

Please let us know what you think of this service by emailing John Seguin (seguin@umr.edu).
