The 26th ed. (2009) of the American Men and Women of Science profiles living persons in the physical and biological fields, as well as public health scientists, engineers, mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists.

Nanoscale is a new peer reviewed journal publishing experimental and theoretical work across the breadth of nanoscience and nanotechnology.  Nanoscale is a collaborative venture between RSC Publishing and leading nanoscience research centre, the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) in Beijing, China. – Publisher’s blurb.

Northwestern University now has expanded access to portion of Web of Science.   The Science Citation Index has now been expanded to include coverage from 1945-154 (bringing coverage to 1945 to the present).  The coverage of the Conference Proceedings Citation Index- Science has been expanded to include backfiles for 1990-2000.

Northwestern University now has access to all the title in the Elsevier ScienceDirect backfile package – Physical and Analytical Chemistry.   Access to the individual title is available through the Library’s ER, and will shortly be in NUcat.   Titles can also be accessed directly at ScienceDirect from campus computers.

The titles and coverage are:

This monthly virtual journal contains articles that have appeared in one of the participating source journals and that fall within a range of topical areas involving atomic quantum fluids. These topical areas include Bose-Einstein condensates, degenerate Fermi gases, ultracold atoms in optical lattices, multi-component systems, topological excitations, collisional properties, atom optics, experimental and theoretical developments, and aspects of non-degenerate many-body physics that should be of interest to researchers in the field of atomic quantum fluids. – Publisher’s blurb.

Access to this resource is restricted to the Northwestern University Evanston campus.

The Journal of Biophotonics covers the broad range of research on the interaction between light and biological material. As such, this new journal is strictly interdisciplinary, covering specific research in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, medicine as well as engineering. The coverage extends from fundamental research to specific developments, while also including the latest applications. – Publisher’s blurb.

Fluid Dynamics Research publishes theoretical, numerical and experimental studies that contribute to the fundamental understanding and application of fluid phenomena. – Publisher’s blurb.

Online access is from 2008 to the present.

Northwestern University now has licensed access to the current content of Nation Research Council Canada journals.  The journals and coverage included are:

JRSE is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal covering all areas of renewable and sustainable energy-related fields that apply to the physical science and engineering communities. As an electronic-only, Web-based journal with rapid publication time, JRSE is responsive to the many new developments expected in this field. The interdisciplinary approach of the publication ensures that the editors draw from researchers worldwide in a diverse range of fields. – Publisher’s blurb.

American Chemical Society Applied Materials & Interfaces is being launched with the goal of becoming the international publication of choice for the interdisciplinary community of chemists, engineers, physicists and biologists focusing on how newly-discovered materials and interfacial processes can be developed and used for specific applications. The journal will publish full length articles and letters from researchers in academia and industry in addition to featuring comments and forums dedicated to advancing applied materials research. – Publisher’s blurb.
