Elsevier Enhances Scopus
A new article by Paula Hane. "Today, July 18, Scopus is announcing a range of new updates and features that further its mission of providing an easy-to-use, comprehensive system for conducting scientific research. The product is not viewed as a stand-alone, but rather as one that fits within the research process and supports the workflow by seamlessly integrating third-party research tools. New features being introduced include close integration with RefWorks, the bibliographic management tool from CSA; interoperability with the chemical structure searching in MDL's CrossFire Commander; and several content integration enhancements."

NARA earns accolades from GAO
"The National Archives and Records Administration's huge undertaking -- to save government records in any format and make them available on future hardware and software -- is moving full speed ahead, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office. 'The [Electronic Records Archives] program is meeting its cost, schedule, and performance objectives and has identified risks to the program's objectives. GAO is not making any recommendations at this time because NARA has plans in place to address identified weaknesses,' the GAO report released today states."

'Shoebox' libraries are well-loved but have problems
"You may love your local library. But if you don't live near one of the county's handful of bigger-and-brighter branches, chances are your library is older, smaller, and less accessible." It would have been useful if this article would have pointed out some of the remotely accessible services that many libraries (of all sizes) provide. The world of the library and librarian continue to expand beyond the four walls of a library building.
