We have purchased the 2017 Hart Collection from Bloomsbury. We have already added 61 titles to DiscoverEd and the remaining titles will be added as they are published. A full list of the 125 titles are listed here and the status column K will show the available titles already added to DiscoverEd.
We have now extended our e-access to Nature Protocols back to Volume 1 (2006).
Nature Protocols is an online journal of laboratory protocols for bench researchers. Protocols are presented in a ‘recipe’ style providing step-by-step descriptions of procedures which users can take to the lab and immediately apply in their own research. Protocols on the site are fully searchable and organized into logical categories to be easily accessible to researchers.
We have a new e-journal subscription – Journal of Professions and Organization
Journal of Professions and Organization aims to be the premier outlet for research on professional organizations, including their work, management and their broader social and economic role. It will focus on the organizational level but will still maintain a broad interest in professionals, the professions, professionalization, professional practice and relevant work-place issues. The journal is receptive to interdisciplinary perspectives and contributions, with strong interests in all professional organizations, professional service firms (PSFs), and public sector professionals (PSPs). While recognizing the importance of traditional professions, they welcome work on new professions, occupations claiming some professional status, and on knowledge workers more generally.
We have a new e-journal subscription – 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing.
3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing is a peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for world-class research in additive manufacturing and related technologies. The Journal explores emerging challenges and opportunities ranging from new developments of processes and materials, to new simulation and design tools, and informative applications and case studies. Novel applications in new areas, such as medicine, education, bio-printing, food printing, art and architecture, are also encouraged.
The Journal addresses the important questions surrounding this powerful and growing field, including issues in policy and law, intellectual property, data standards, safety and liability, environmental impact, social, economic, and humanitarian implications, and emerging business models at the industrial and consumer scales.
