Create Automatic Queries in Scopus from Your Library website

• Here's a quick tip from the Scopus Info site that can help your students and researchers stay up-to-date in their fields of interest.
  
  Create simple and/or advanced search queries on your library or departmental websites.
  
  Use the Scopus inward searching syntax:
  http://www.scopus.com/scopus/search/submit/xadvanced.url?searchfield= CODE OF THE SEARCH FIELD (search term A Boolean Operator search term B)
  
  Examples:
• http://www.scopus.com/scopus/search/submit/xadvanced.url?searchfield=TITLE-ABS-KEY(myb and retrovirus)
• http://www.scopus.com/scopus/search/submit/xadvanced.url?searchfield=TITLE-ABS-KEY(Acromegaly and "growth hormone")
  
  
  Quick notes regarding syntax:
  
• Click here for a complete list of codes
• Between the () it is possible to use wildcards * and double quotes "" like in Scopus

View the Brain like Never Before!

Have you heard of BrainNavigator, a finalist in the ALPSP Publishing Innovation award? It’s a tool that takes the concept of a printed brain atlas to a whole new level. BrainNavigator is designed to help researchers locate the positions of structures within the brain, making visualization and understanding the brain easier. And if you work with neuroscientists, odds are it’s a tool they are talking about or interested in.

To learn more about BrainNavigator check out this NPR Clip, read the linked press release, or view this video on the features and benefits of BrainNavigator. It’s state of the art science and technology. It’s fascinating whether or not you’re a neuroscientist!
