The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was established in 1945 by scientists and engineers who created the atomic bomb as part of the Manhattan Project, and knew about its effects. Its purpose is to "inform the public about threats to the survival and development of humanity from nuclear weapons, climate change, and emerging technologies in the life sciences." The contents of the Bulletin (1945-1998) have been scanned by Google Book Search, and are now freely available. Members of the UAlbany community can also access 1999+ via the Minerva record for the Bulletin.
From March 2nd to March 30th, the contents all of the journals published by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) will be available to the University at Albany community. This is in addition to the journals we subscribe to; it includes Analyst, Catalysts & Catalysed Reactions, Chemical Biology, Chemical Technology, CrystEngComm, Energy & Environmental Science, Green Chemistry, Integrative Biology, Journal of Environmental Monitoring, Lab on a Chip, Metallomics, Molecular BioSystems, Natural Product Reports, Natural Product Updates, Pesticide Outlook, Photochemical & Photobiological Science, and Soft Matter. This is for March 2009 only.
Research Blogging identifies and aggregates blog posts about serious peer-reviewed research. The posts are about real developments in science; they are not press releases or news reports. Research Blogging includes science research in biology, chemistry, computer science, geosciences, mathematics, neuroscience, physics, and other subject areas. Bloggers who want their posts aggregated must register. RSS feeds are available for all topics or by individual subject.
The National Technical Information Service (NTIS) is now offering RSS feeds by major subject category. By subscribing to an RSS feed from NTIS, you will receive summaries of all newly cataloged reports for the subject category. Links to additional information are also furnished. The full list of NTIS RSS subject feeds is available here, and includes feeds for atmospherics, chemistry, computers, energy, environment, materials, mathematics, medicine & biology, natural resources & earth sciences, nuclear science & technology, and physics.
Hosted by the American Mathematical Society, the aim of AMS Digital Mathematics Registry "is to provide centralized access to collections of digitized publications in the mathematical sciences" and related areas like computer science. This includes both journals and journal-like book series. The resource list can be sorted by title or source (publisher). For every title listed, there's an indication whether it is freely accessible, a subscription is needed, or it is a combination of both.
Academic Earth is an organization with the goal of giving a world-class education to everyone on Earth. To achieve this goal, Academic Earth identifies and provides access to lectures given by leading experts from the some of the top universities. Subject coverage from this growing collection includes biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and physics.
Wikibooks is a collection of open content textbooks. Open content means that these textbooks are freely available online. A textbook is defined by Wikibooks as "a manual of instruction or a standard book in any branch of study. They are produced according to the demand of educational institutions." Wikibooks is not... Wikibooks provides access to textbooks for these science/technology subjects: biology, computer science, engineering, mathematics, natural sciences, and physics.
The University Libraries is now providing online access to the following American Statistical Association (ASA) journals:
The Optical Society of America has launched a new online-only, peer-reviewed journal: Advances in Optics and Photonics. It will contain chapter-length review articles, tutorials, peer-reviewed letters to the editor, and multimedia. Advances in Optics and Photonics is freely available in 2009.
Although this is not a new resource, CiteSeerx is a new name and it has expanded coverage. Developed by the NEC Research Institute and currently managed by Pennsylvania State University, CiteSeerx is a digital library and search engine for resources like journal articles, conference papers, and technical reports in computer and information science. In addition to a list of documents, an author or subject search automatically generates the search context and a list of related documents. The autonomous citation indexing feature executes a citation search similar to Science Citation Index or Scopus. Many of the citations are linked to the full text.
SciFinder Scholar is being enhanced with information from Wiley reaction collections. Content from Organic Syntheses and Organic Reactions is now being added. In September 2008, information from Wiley's Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis began appearing.
Algorithm and Data Structure Tutorials (with Java and C++ implementations) is an educational Website dedicated to data structures and algorithms. Its tutorials cover various topics like sorting algorithms, linear and tree data structures, graph algorithms, basic programming concepts, and are supplemented with illustrated examples and implementations in both Java and C++.
