We just acquired Scopus, an abstract and citation database from Elsevier. That’s all well & good, but what can this database do for you?
As a researcher:
- Find out who is citing you, and how many citations an article or an author has received. Analyze citations for a particular journal issue, volume or year.
- Use this information to complete grant or other applications quickly and easily.
- Use the refine results overview to quickly see the main journals, disciplines and authors that publish in your area of interest.
- Uncover important and relevant articles that you may otherwise miss.
- Check out the work and citations of other authors.
- Click on the cited by and reference links to track research trends and make connections – within or across disciplines.

Kudos to the first year medical students! This week’s “Bouquets & Brickbats” column in the Gambit Weekly praises their efforts in continuing Camp Tiger for the 22nd year. The medical students plan all of the activities, raise necessary funds, solicit donations for activities and supplies and then volunteer their time to serve as camp counselors. Great job guys!
The library is pleased to welcome Remeika Fobb-Daniels as the new night supervisor. Remeika is a graduate of the University of New Orleans with a degree in Sociology and Mass Communications.
