The successful applicant must have a Master's degree in Library Science and a degree or relevant experience in biology or related field. The Libraries of Purdue University has made Current Contents available via the Internet to all Purdue faculty, staff and graduate students. Search strategies may be saved, so they can be re-run, week after week. The OVID software can also export citations in a format that is compatible with many bibliographic database programs such as ProCite, Reference Manager, Endnotes, etc. Search results may be e-mailed or printed.
Most citations have full abstracts.
Bill has a strong background in biochemistry and has developed an expertise in helping folks develop effective search strategies and export results into their bibliographic database managers. Over 60 Purdue faculty members are presently participating in this project. A feature recently added to ELP is the ability to request document delivery of ANY article in the database. Previously we were only able to order from journals which were published by participating publishers. Library staff members are currently contacting all ELP participants, upgrading their client software so all the participants can take advantage of this new possibility.
