The Kresge Library is pleased to announce a new resource, e-EROS, the online version of the critically acclaimed Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis.
After seeing how heavily used our print edition was, we investigated online access for the institute. e-EROS is updated regularly and allows searching by reagent, catalyst, solvent, product yield, temperature, authors, reference and year. There is also structure and reaction searching. It contains 70,000+ reactions and 4000 reagents.

New Interface & Features for Web of Science
On February 4, 2008 the Web of Science will introduce a new look and new features for searching the Science Citation Index database. The biggest change is a prominent Refine Results box on the left-hand side where you can limit your searches by specific subjects, years, authors, languages and more. Exporting options appear above the records. The Analyze Results feature allows you to compare up to 100,000 records by author, year, institution, and journal. See who has published the most papers in your field or which institutions publish in your area.
The Kresge Library has developed short, 3-5 minute tutorials to introduce you to the new interface. These can be found on the Library's Training and Guides page for Web of Science.
