In light of recent severe weather and environmental disasters, it is reassuring to note that the American Veterinary Medical Association offers information to the practicing veterinarian and general public about how to protect and to plan for the rescue of companion and domestic animals. The AVMA Disaster Preparedness site links to educational/training materials, fact-sheets, guides and resource contacts by state.
The Sci-Bytes column from ScienceWatch has recently supplied a table comparing the citation impact of journals in the subject category of energy and fuels during three time periods. Data for the 2007 impact factor has been drawn from the current edition of Journal Citation Reports.
According to Journal Citation Reports, "the journal impact factor is the average number of times articles from the journal published in the past two years have been cited in the JCR year."
Journal Citation Reports can be accessed from the campus libraries' E-Resource Gateway.
Blooming Books is currently on display at the Kohler Art Library through July 31, 2008. This exhibit of artists’ books explores the beauty and wonder of nature as found in flowers, trees, blossoms, leaves and insects. As artists’ books, the book design, itself, is often inventive, featuring pop-up, tunnel and accordion features, among other design elements. The books for this exhibition were selected by Lyn Korenic from among the Kohler Art Library’s extensive collection of artists’ books.
