Current Contents , published by Institute for Scientific Information, is an index to the contents of over 6,000 academic journals in the sciences, arts and humanities and social sciences. Many of the records are accompanied by abstracts. The results of the search can be e-mailed directly to your own electronic mailbox. Then proceed as for Telnet access above. If you encounter problems associated with Current Contents please contact Reference Staff at 2572.
Every personal computer seems to be configured differently.
Further details on how to access this service and hints on how to search it effectively can be obtained from the Reference Desk in the Main Library and the Music Library . Late last spring the computer which ran the CD-ROM network crashed. Over the summer we worked on several arrangements by which we could offer this service to the campus again. All of these databases, except for BIP, are accessed through our consortium arrangement with UNB and U de M. Pamphlets on how to search these databases effectively are being prepared by Library reference staff. The Library is preparing a new website for itself.
