IEEE New Technology Connections





This looks like a good one! From their publicity -
For each featured technology, you will find a general description, upcoming conferences, news articles, technical papers, related standards, professional organizations, and academic programs ... all in one place. Depending on your goal and interests, you can further explore these new connections for more depth.

We have kept the content level broad enough to be useful to a wide audience of professionals, academicians, students, technical press, and the general public eager to keep watch on the newest happenings in an easy-to-understand way. Technologies currently featured in the portal include DRM, RFID, remote sensing, wind power, and WiFi, with more to be added.

Encyclopedia of Magnetic Resonance - Free Trial



Covering a huge range of topics from "Abdominal RMA" to "Zinc Fingers" the newly published electronic version of Wiley's Encyclopedia of Magnetic Resonance provides comprehensive coverage of both the theoretical and applied aspects of its subject. Its breadth and accessible approach will make it of use to researchers and students across many scientific disciplines while the quality of its authors allows it to claim authoritative standing. Of particular interest is the addition of historical and biographical material.

This resource is on trial until 7 June and ongoing subscription to it is by no means guaranteed. Your comments on its usefulness and value will be particularly helpful.

A full list of Wiley reference sources held by Massey Library can be seen here.
