Access to Journal Articles: Philosopher's Index, General Science Index and Applied Science and Technology Index on the ERL server at UNB provides access to a wide range of general scientific publications. ProQuest Direct Research Library does not adequately address pure scientific publications. Faculty have access to the table of contents service offered by Current Contents, MathSciNet*, Web of Science*, and CarlUncover. The Library is currently responsible for the annual subscription fees and faculty are responsible for the cost of the delivery of articles. Students can consult CarlUncover as an indexing service only. IDEAL Library* and Springer-Verlag Link* provide additional full text journal article access. [*Access is through the CNSLP Agreement.]
