Current Awareness

LSU ingenta provides over 11 million citations to articles from more than 20,000 journals. Within the gateway, you will be able to freely access the electronic (html and pdf) full-text of articles from those publications to which we have subscription rights. If LSU is not a subscriber, document delivery of electronic and faxed copies of articles are available. Articles can also be ordered via Interlibrary Borrowing in Middleton Library.

Anyone with an LSU email account can use the Reveal Research Alerts current awareness service. Tables of contents from your favorite journals and citations for articles in your areas of interest are sent directly to you via email.

For more information on the LSU Ingenta document delivery and Reveal service, please see Ingenta's about this site page.

Those interested in the history of chemistry and chemical engineering will find material of interest there: announcements of new publications on the history of chemistry, abstracts of oral histories in the Othmer Library of Chemical History, etc. Not e also under the Othmer Library that research questions on chemical history can be sent to the Research Historian at the Othmer Library.

The Alchemist also includes features such as:

• Catalyst - topical issues featuring award winning science writer David Bradley
• Filternet - what's hot in discussion lists and newsgroups?
• Spotlight - a closer look at major chemistry topics
• Conference Diary - events listing in all fields of chemistry
• Book reviews
• Software reviews

"The Scientific Review The mission of Annual Reviews Inc. is to provide systematic, periodic examinations of scholarly advances in a number of fields of science through critical authoritative reviews. The comprehensive critical review not only summarizes a topic but also roots out errors of fact or concept and provokes discussion that will lead to new research activity. The critical review is an essential part of the scientific method."

ChemFinder Web Server

"Because the ChemFinder WebServer is a chemical database, it can also provide information that a general-purpose WWW index cannot, including physical property data and 2D chemical structures. This information is somewhat sparse at the moment, but is very good for the thousand-or-so most-common compounds. We are constantly working on getting more data, and we expect the ChemFinder WebServer only to keep improving." Source: CambridgeSoft
