Check out the new study spaces we added over the summer.
SciFinder’s database of regulated chemicals has been updated with more than 42,000 registered substances from the 2013 Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances in China (IECSC). The addition of this national inventory brings the number of regulated substances in SciFinder to more than 300,000.
To learn more, visit http://www.cas.org/news/media-releases/inventory-existing-chemical-substances.
SciFinder released an update last month that changed their interface and provided some new options and features.
To learn more, check out this quick, interactive tour of the new design.
If you already have a SciFinder account, you can login here. If you do not have a SciFinder account, please register here.

Online access is now available to Zebrafish, starting with volume 1, issue 1.
Zebrafish is “ the only peer-reviewed journal to focus on the zebrafish, which has numerous valuable features as a model organism for the study of vertebrate development. Due to its prolific reproduction and the external development of the transparent embryo, the zebrafish is a prime model for genetic and developmental studies, as well as research in toxicology and genomics. While genetically more distant from humans, the vertebrate zebrafish nevertheless has comparable organs and tissues, such as heart, kidney, pancreas, bones, and cartilage.”
The journal can accessed through the links in this blog post or by searching the library catalog or the e-journal search page. It is indexed in the PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science citation databases. Off-campus access is available to students, faculty and staff who use the Libraries’ links and sign in with a HawkID and password.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more about Zebrafish, please contact the Sciences Library at lib-sciences@uiowa.edu or 335-3083.
Online access is now available to Mathematical Research Letters.
Mathematical Research Letters is “dedicated to rapid publication of short complete papers of original research in all areas of mathematics. Expository papers and research announcements of exceptional interest are also occasionally published.”
The journal can accessed through the links in this blog post or by searching the library catalog or the e-journal search page. It is indexed in the MathSciNet and Web of Science citation databases. Use the yellow UILink button to access the full-text. Off-campus access is available to students, faculty and staff who use the Libraries’ links and sign in with a HawkID and password.

The UI Libraries is pleased to announce full access to all sections of JoVE (Journal of Visualized Experiments), including Applied Physics, Behavior, Bioengineering, Chemistry, Clinical and Translational Medicine, Immunology and Infection, and Neuroscience. The Environment section will be available in September 2013.
JoVE is a peer-reviewed, PubMed-indexed video journal that seeks to “increase the productivity of scientific research” through the publication of “biological, medical, chemical and physical research in a video format”.
You can access JoVE and its sections by bookmarking the links in this post. You can also search for specific sections using the library catalog or e-journal search. JoVE sections are also listed in their relevant subject guides.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more about JoVE, please contact the Sciences Library at lib-sciences@uiowa.edu or 335-3083.
The UI Libraries have added several major electronic reference works from Wiley to the collection:
These publications can be found in the library catalog, A-Z Databases List and relevant subject guides.
The new furniture has arrived for the study space on the third floor of the Sciences Library!
