Following are some new e-resources from the Swain Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Library. Items about these e-resources and many more can be found on the Chemistry Library's blog
Distillations
Distillations is a weekly science podcast that brings you extracts from the past, present, and future of chemistry. Join host Robert D. Hicks for a new episode every Friday with interviews, monologues, reviews, features, and more, to gain historical perspective on current scientific issues. Brought to you from the Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia, their Web site includes additional information about each show as well as archived podcasts.
Optics InfoBase
Founded in 1916, the mission of the Optical Society of America (OSA) is to promote the generation, application and archiving of knowledge in optics and photonics and to disseminate this knowledge worldwide. The purposes of the Society are scientific, technical and educational.
Recently site-licensed by the Physics Library, Optics InfoBase is OSA's online repository of both current and past volumes of all its journals. It also contains recent proceedings from OSA conferences. The InfoBase search engine-displayed on the main InfoBase Web page-allows users to find articles with simple search, advanced search, and lookup/browse features.
NSDL Pathways
Part of the National Science Digital Library, NSDL Pathways are portals created to support efficient resource discovery for broad categories of users. Pathway portals are developed and managed in partnership with organizations and institutions that have a history and expertise in serving their portal's target audiences - in effect, they act as reference librarians for their communities. Portals currently available include:
- Biological Sciences Pathway
- Chemistry Pathway
- Computational Science Pathway
- Engineering Pathway
- Materials Science Pathway
- Mathematical Sciences Pathway
- Middle School Pathway
- Pathway for Community and Technical Colleges
- Pathway to Multimedia Resources for the Classroom
- Physics and Astronomy Pathway
