New Trial: Publishing Opportunities Database, through 11/30/09

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

The Publishing Opportunities Database provides the most extensive listing of opportunities for professors, post-doctorates and other students interested in presenting and publishing their research papers.  Information from three distinct sources (highly cited journals, journal special issues and academic conferences) is combined and presented in a convenient, intuitive format.

Each Publishing Opportunities Database record contains vital information about:

- The publication or conference
- The scope and topics on which manuscripts are sought
- Applicable deadlines for abstracts, manuscripts and final papers
- Manuscript formatting requirements
- Submission information
- Publication frequency
- Contact information

The database, which is updated twice each month, covers multidisciplinary subject areas.  It includes information on more than 14,000 highly cited journals, 2,000 special journal issues each year, and over 12,000 conference calls for papers annually.

We have access to this trial through the end of this month.  Please email us with any comments on this resource as we evaluate it for possible purchase.

UT Authors Collection

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Did you know that you can search for books by University of Toledo authors (faculty, staff, students, alumni) in the UT Library Catalog?  They’re all part of the University of Toledo Authors Collection, and we have over one thousand items produced by our own scholars.  Click on a title to see where we keep the book… some are only available for use in the Canaday Center for Special Collections, but many can be checked out!
