The team of Lib4RI wishes everybody a wonderful winter, peaceful holidays, and a good start into the new year!

Our library catalogue NEBIS recherche is presented with a new design and offers several new functions.

Lib4RI has licensed Reaxys, a web-based chemistry database that integrates reaction and substance data search with synthesis planning.

A click on the Get-it-at-Lib4RI button is the shortest way to the full texts of articles.

As of today users of Lib4RI have free access to all journals of the Nature Publishing Group (NPG) until the end of 2011. These include in total 110 titles, particularly from Life Sciences, Medicine, Chemistry, Earth Sciences and Physics. You can find a list of these journals on the website of the NPG.

IEEE articles can be downloaded again into the file cabinet.

As of today, there are no more IEEE downloads to our fee-based file cabinet left. In part, this has been caused by the totally unnecessary download of AIP articles.

The directorates of the four research institutes initiated a survey to identify the most important scientific journals. From September 2010 to March 2011 members of Eawag, Empa, PSI and WSL were asked to name the five most important journals for their work in an online survey.

We are pleased to present the first annual report of Lib4RI.

The Institutional Bibliographies of Eawag and Empa are presented in a new look. We have switched to the RefShare 2.0 interface, featuring a layout that is much easier on the eyes and easier to use.

The bibliographic database «Wildlife & Ecology Studies Worldwide» was formerly only available at the WSL, but now is also available for user at Eawag, Empa & PSI.

Two new members joined the library team on July 4: Laura Tobler and Dorothe Staub.

Our Newsletter «Lib4RI-Update #02» is out! Get a print copy at the library or read the online version.

A History Corner in the library Lib4RI in Forum Chriesbach allows interactive insights into earlier Eawag history (concept and realisation: Andri Bryner and Stephanie Hofmann).

Lib4RI is providing trial access to all Cambridge Journals via Cambridge Journals Online (CJO) until June 3, 2011. The direct link is: journals.cambridge.org.

Over the course of the last few months, we have been busily working to create the website you’re now looking at. Launched on March 24, the new website serves as Lib4RI’s virtual branch, replacing and unifying the websites of Lib4RI’s founding libraries.

Information resources which until now have been available at one of the four research institutes are now available at all four institutions. That amounts to a substantially improved range of resources for all users. All of our databases and journals can be found on our website (see Resources > Databases and Resources > Journals).

Our first Newsletter «Lib4RI-Update #01» is out! Get a print copy at the library or read the online version.

You are cordially invited to celebrate with us the opening of Lib4RI, which will take place at the main sites of the library on 10 February 2011! The libraries of Eawag, Empa, PSI and WSL merged on 1st January.
