Annals of theNew York
Academy of Sciences Backfile (Systemwide Access via Blackwell Synergy)http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/loi/nyasThe Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences is one of the oldest scientific journals in the
United States and among the most cited of multidisciplinary scientific serials. Each year the Annals publishes 28 conference proceedings in established and emerging scientific fields sponsored by the NYAS as well as those of other scientific organizations.
The backfile goes back to volume 1, December 1879, and both SFX and SCP records have been updated with the additional years. Blackwell is in the process of re-scanning some older content due to image quality, so there are some gaps in the holdings. UCSF purchased this backfile for the UC system. ARTstor (Systemwide access [minus UCSF] via ARTstor)http://uclibs.org/PID/44518Beginning August 1, 2007, five additional campuses - Davis, Irvine, Merced, Riverside, and Santa Barbara are joining the existing ARTstor subscribers (Berkeley, Los Angeles, San Diego and Santa Cruz) in a system-wide ARTstor license negotiated by CDL (San Francisco is not participating at this time.) CDL paid the one-time archive capital fee and the annual access fee until January 1, 2008 for the new campuses.
ARTstor is an ever-growing digital library of over 500,000 images of art, architecture and archeology from a wide range of cultures and time periods to support teaching and learning in the humanities and social sciences.
