Encyclopedias from Elsevier ScienceDirect

The Library has recently acquired a number of new electronic encyclopedias and reference works from the ScienceDirect collection. The full offering available to the Massey science community is –

• Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry II
• Encyclopedia of Biological Chemistry
• Encyclopedia of Dairy Sciences
• Encyclopedia of Food Microbiology
• Encyclopedia of Food Sciences and Nutrition
• Encyclopedia of Genetics

Reference works of this sort are a useful means of getting a fast start on a new area of research. They are also a valuable resource for students who otherwise tend to go straight to databases and begin reading journal articles. Links can be made directly from WebCT to articles from these and other electronic reference works - please contact us if you wish to do this.
