 Chemistry Library Adds 100,000th Volume!
-
The Mallet Chemistry Library recently added the 100,000th volume to its collection. The book, Advanced membrane science and technology for sustainable energy and environmental applications (Woodhead Publishing, 2011), was purchased with funds from the James E. and Ruth Ann Boggs Chemistry Library Endowment. Naturally, this milestone of collection size reflects only our print holdings, and doesn't reflect the uncountable number of electronic resources also available to UT users. But it took 128 years to reach it! Here's a timeline of progress over the years:
1901: 3,000 volumes
1965: 25,000 volumes
1987: 50,000 volumes
1997: 75,000 volumes
2004: 90,000 volumes

Google Scholar has introduced a new Citations tool, a way for authors to compute their citation metrics and track them over time. You can gather citation metrics such as h-index for a selected group of articles, fix bibliographic errors, create your own author profile and make it public if you wish. As with all citation metrics, be very careful how you proceed and ask if you need help - bibliometrics can be very complex and sometimes misleading. For more information see our Citation Searching page.

This venerable review series celebrates its 75th volume and has launched a Wiki site that lists all published chapters and provides associated wiki discussions and condensed chapters. (For full text you still need to come to the library to get a volume - we can't afford the Wiley online version.)
