What does this mean for you? Using LinkSeeker in PubMed, you have access to all of the full-text resources provided by the Research Library. You can easily see if a PubMed article has been cited in SciSearch at LANL. If full text is not available, the document request form is populated for you, leaving just a few fields to fill out.
If you've ever wished you could search only for books, or only for journals, or only for materials in electronic form, you will like the newest feature of the Library Catalog.
The new electronic format of Kirk-Othmer lets you pinpoint the information you need quickly and easily by keyword, company, brand and trade names, CAS registry number and many more access points. You can browse or search the encyclopedia, download and print tables and sections of articles, customize preferences for viewing materials and use hyperlinks to jump to related sections.
In June, 2001, a workshop was held in Moscow as a joint project with Russian and American specialists on the topic of high-impact terrorism. The papers have titles straight from a Tom Clancy novel; but these issues are real and were being presented by experts from the U.S. and Russia. Topics covered were nuclear, chemical and biological-based terrorism for mass destruction and terrorism that could provide potential for mass disruption. Chaired by former Lab Director Sig Hecker, Sig's opening remarks from the meeting are frightening in their prescience. "High-Impact Terrorism, proceedings of a Russian-American Workshop" is going to become a important document of our time. Available at: http://www.nap.edu/catalog/10301.html
Beginning August 1 the Research Library will no longer be offering document delivery services for journal articles NOT in the Library's collection. The cost in staff and delivery time has made this process no longer a "service" to staff members. Delivery can be up to 3 times faster if you order yourself directly from a vendor. Please watch for further information on the Library's Document Delivery web page. Copies of articles in the Library collection will continue to be provided free of charge.

Easily found on the Library's Site Map under "Databases/Indexes" this product using the ProQuest software can quickly produce a set of articles for you on most business-related topics. The industry viewpoint can be particularly useful when investigating the introduction of a new product or process or if you are just looking for information on current methods.
