DOE Energy Science and Technology is a multidisciplinary database containing worldwide references to basic and applied scientific and technical research literature especially energy and its related topics. The scope of the database encompasses all technological aspects of energy production, conversion, and efficient utilization, as well as related economic, social and political aspects. Major topical areas are fossil fuels, renewable energy resources, nuclear energy, fusion energy, energy storage and conversion, end-use technology, advanced energy systems, and energy policy.
Coverage also includes aspects of chemistry, engineering, environmental science, biomedical science, physics, mathematics, computer science, materials, and instrumentation related to energy technology.
Citations describe the following types of literature: reports, journals, conferences, patents, books, theses, and software. These citations are provided by the U.S. Department of Energy, its contractors, and other government agencies. Also included is information from the International Energy Agency's Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDE) and the International Atomic Energy Agency's International Nuclear Information System (INIS). About 50% of the references are from non-U.S. sources.
The search screen should look familiar since it uses the same software as the LANL Research Library's On-line Catalog. A feature of this database that distinguishes it from the commercially-produced CD-ROM and dial-up versions is the real-time availability of resources within the LANL Research Library collections. DOE Energy Science & Technology database will be updated twice a month effective January 1997.

The MELVYL BIOSIS database includes 4.6 million citations with abstracts from 6,000 international journals, books, and conference proceedings from 1988 to the present. Subjects covered are biology, biochemistry, biophysics, biomedicine, microbiology, zoology, ecology, botany, and other life sciences.
There is a link to MELVYL on the Research Library's home page under Electronic Databases. A basic MELVYL training class is scheduled for January 22 from 11-11:30 a.m. in the Research Library. You can register via e-mail at library@lanl.gov or call 667-5809.

The easiest way is to place a hold on the item. If it is in the Research Library, we will pull it from the shelves and mail it to your mailstop. If someone else has the item checked out, we will add your name to a waiting list. Either way, you can do this from your office, without having to find a parking place in TA-3!
There are three options for placing a hold on an item in the Library.
OPTION 1: Send an e-mail message to the Research Library.
OPTION 2: If you have a LANL Z number, you can place a hold from the online catalog.
OPTION 3: Call the Library Service Desk (667-4175) and ask to have a hold placed for you.
Some items cannot be checked out (Reference materials, for instance, marked as REF in the online catalog.) If there is any problem with your hold request, we will let you know.
Instructions for placing a hold also can be found on the Research Library's web pages

Significant new version 2 features include:
The American Mathematical Society is making available at no charge the Featured Reviews from the three most recent issues of Mathematical Reviews. Featured Reviews are those reviews from the Mathematical Reviews database that were especially commissioned for some of the books and papers that are considered particularly important in the areas that they cover. Approximately 5-10 reviews may receive the Featured Reviews designation in any one issue of MR.
Links to Featured Reviews are available from several pages on e-MATH, such as the MathSciNet home page and the Publications home page, or directly at the URL: http://www.ams.org/featured-reviews
In December 1996, a MathSciNet mirror site was established in Bielefeld, Germany. Mirror sites are accessible from the MathSciNet home page. Plans are underway to establish other mirror sites in 1997.
