Posted by Anne Collins - Collection Development Librarian at 4:09 pm No comments: The new web portal for science students and scientists, http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/scienceportal/ was launched today.

Science @ Cambridge aims to draw users into a virtual library space giving them immediate access to electronic information from their desktop, tools to help them navigate through the vast number of sources available, as well as on-line real-time help from library subject-experts. This development acknowledges that for many of those working in contemporary science the library is now largely a 'virtual resource'.

Science @ Cambridge will increase access to and knowledge of scientific electronic resources. It will help users discover, search across and improve the use of science e-resources, generally and within discipline specific areas.

Science @ Cambridge has been developed with the generous support of the Arcadia Trust.
