Following on the Scopus trial which ended in December 2007, TCD Library now has a subscription to Scopus (Elsevier).
Scopus is an abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature and web sources covering more than 15,000 peer-reviewed journals in science, technology, medicine and social sciences.
Coverage 1966-
Cited reference searching 1996 -
Subject Coverage: - by number of source titles that are used [Scopus Info web site]:
Life Sciences >3,400 titles
Health Sciences > 5,300 titles (including 100% coverage of Medline titles)
Physical Sciences > 5,500 titles
Social Sciences > 2,850 titles
Scopus offers citation searching - as ISI's Web of Science has been doing -
therefore researchers can demonstrate the impact of their own publications by identifying citations to their work in the titles indexed in Scopus.

ARTstor and Internet Explorer
We now have access to ARTstor in TCD.
If you have any problems using ARTstor with Windows Internet Explorer, please ensure your Java - General - Network settings are set to the tcdproxy. For step-by-step instructions on how to do this see the ISServices page on Java.
Mozilla Firefox can handle the java issues and there's no need to change anything in that browser.
A link to ARTstor from the databases page will be added soon.
