Environmental Electronic Resources Survey 1. ScanDoc is a FREE current awareness service provided by the University of Toronto Library to faculty, staff, and graduate students. Each week a personalized list of articles based on search terms selected by you is e-mailed to you by the library. A subscriber lists keywords or terms relating to their research topic on a registration form. The Library sets up a search profile which runs automatically every time a new issue of Current Contents Week is loaded onto the Library system.
Subscribers can request changes at any time to their research profile.
Ask for a ScanDoc registration form at the Information Desks of the Gerstein Science W Information Centre or the Noranda Earth Sciences Library. In our last issue we described some features of Ovid Medline. PubMed is another packaging of the same Medline database with some unique and special features. The NCBI, established in 1988 as a national resource for molecular biology information, creates public databases, conducts research in computational biology, develops software tools for analyzing genome data, and disseminates biomedical information - all for the better understanding of molecular processes affecting human health and disease. It is the most up to date version of Medline, typically about two to three months more up to date than other versions.
