SUBJECT AREA: T

SUBJECT AREA: T - TECHNOLOGY (except TR)

NOTE: Engineering and Geoscience as curriculum offerings are being dropped. Collecting in this area will be restricted to general interest materials only except for TD, TK and TP. The last certificate in Engineering was awarded at spring convocation 2000.

Note: A new course in History: 3501 A social and political history of food in North America may impact the TX classification. Also two new courses in English: 1121 Literature, Science and Technology and 4931: Selected topics in text and technology may also impact this area.

Purpose (major target group and interdisciplinary relationships): Serves students studying computer technology (TK), chemical engineering (TP) and environmental studies/science. Information specifically dealing with the Internet are also classed here.

Existing Collection Strength: T-TA-TD-TJ-TK-TL Representative, TC-TE-TF-TG-TH-TS-TT-TX Basic, and TN-TP Selective.

Current Collecting Intensity: TC [hydraulics]-TE [highways]-TF [railroads]-TG [bridges]-TH [buildings]-TJ [mechanical]-TL [vehicles]-TN [mining]-TS [manufacturing]-TT [arts and crafts]-TX [home economics] Basic, T-TA [general engineering]-TD [environmental]-TK [electrical]-TP [chemical engineering] Representative. Publications on the Internet fall in the TK5000's and will be collected selectively.

Geographic focus: North America.

Chronological focus: Current.

Languages collected: English.

Formats collected: Paper, video and computer software.

Access to Journal Articles: The current CD-ROM products do not directly address any of these areas. ProQuest Direct Research Library is weak in the areas of science and technology. Current Contents, WEB of Science* [Science Citation Index, Arts and Humanities Citation Index and Social Sciences Citation Index], CarlUncover and other Internet resources may be used by faculty and students. Springer-Verlag Link*, American Chemical Society*, and the Royal Society of Chemistry* do offers several full text journals in this area in many of the subject areas. [Access is through CNSLP Agreement].
