Materials Database (biomaterials and bioengineering)

Engineering faculty and grad students working in materials and more
specifically, biomaterials:

I am trying to get some sense of the usefulness of one of our subscribed databases, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts' Materials Science Database (group) for getting articles and information on bio-type materials and associated topics related to them.

I need your help because I am not familiar enough with the names of the materials you may be interested in to check on them. If you can take a minute to do a few searches and let me know if you do use or will use this materials database suite in the future I will appreciate it very much.

I know it's important to have a good mix of resources and for materials we have Compendex and INSPEC (which are now on the same platform and can be searched together) and Web of Science, along with Biological Abstracts, Medline and PubMed for the biomaterials/bioengineering type of literature.

Click on the link:
http://www-md3.csa.com/ids70/advanced_search.php?SID=186c10626c6251d86afd3e4fb683328b
to go to the database which lists the individual titles included in the group. The default is set to search all simultaneously, but individual selections can be made as well.

I will appreciate hearing from you if you have research interests in materials and/or biomaterials or bioengineering.

I will also appreciate feedback from researchers in nanomaterials and other advanced materials, and any of you who work in environmental science who seek info on "materials".

Best regards,

Carol

RefWorks

A new service provided by the University Libraries and OIT, Refworks is a web-based tool that allows you to store, organize and format citations from your articles, books and other references. Citations can be saved directly from many different databases including PsycINFO, Web of Science, the library catalog, and more. RefWorks can be used with Microsoft Word to automatically format your bibliographies and in-text citations in APA, MLA and many other styles.

RefWorks is similar to Endnote, but web-based, so you can get to it anytime you have access to the Internet. It also offers a very user-friendly interface.

To register and find additional help, go to http://www.library.nd.edu/refworks/

If you are teaching a class that will require library research, consider asking for an in-class brief demo of Refworks to help your students get started with this citation service. Contact training@nd.edu or 1-7227 to make class arrangements.
