We are proud to announce that the University of Iowa Libraries now have access to the ProQuest Environmental Sciences Collection! Here’s a short blurb from the database describing its features:
“The collection contains environmental science related full-text articles, granular access to figures and tables within articles, environmental impact statements, and the entire range of bibliographic records from Environmental Sciences and Pollution Management (ESPM). ESPM provides unparalleled and comprehensive coverage of the environmental sciences drawn from over 10,000 serials including scientific journals, conference proceedings, reports, monographs, books and government publications.”
One very valuable feature of this resource is the “deep indexing”, or ability to search not just for articles, but also for figures and tables within articles.
The subject coverage of the database is very broad; covering everything in the environmental sciences from Agriculture and Air Pollution to Environmental Education and Waste Management. We hope you find this exciting new resource useful!
