From: Gerry Mckiernan
I am pleased to announce the publication of my latest SCI-5 column in
_Science & Technology Libraries_ (Haworth) titled "Ecological and
Environmental Data" (see below). In addition to the citation to this
column, I have also provided the associated Web address for a
self-archived post-print. In addition, I have also listed my previous
SCI-5 columns published earlier this year and provided their respective
self-archived locations.
The purpose of the SCI-5 column is to profile science and technology sites
with uncommon but useful content, as well as those with innovative
features and functionalities. Members of the Science and Technology
Communities are invited to nominate candidates which they believe will be
of interest to our colleagues for the full SCI-5 treatment [:-)]
Enjoy!
