Science’s NetWatch & Podcasts
Every week for 9 years, Science’s NetWatch scoured the Internet for interesting scientific Web sites. You can look up reviews of the more than 1000 sites that have been highlighted between April 1998 and November 2007. The last regular NetWatch review was published on 2 November 2007, but occasional reviews continue to appear in the Random Samples section.
Science Podcasts: Science’s weekly podcast takes you on a tour of some interesting stories in the journal and on its sister sites. You can listen to these audiocasts on your own computer simply by clicking on the “Listen to MP3″ links on the podcast announcements. If you use a podcast aggregator like iTunes or Juice, you can subscribe to podcast feeds to automatically download the files for syncing to portable audio devices.
2collab – Facebook, Delicious… Linking the Science Community
2collab is a new type of research tool launched in 2007- a collaboration platform designed specifically for researchers in the science, technical and medical communities.
Intended for use by professional researchers in academic, government and corporate institutions, 2collab provides three types of features:
1. Online bookmarking and reference management
2. Groups – for sharing with existing networks, or building new ones
3. Networking – find, evaluate and initiate contact with new people

Creating Permanent links to Springer E-Books
I have made a blogroll of some of the highly accessed e-books from Springer publications. In case you want to make a permanent link to the electronic book then you would have to find the DOI of that e-book from the blogroll or from the Springer E-Books page. Then add the DOI number at the end of this link http://dx.doi.org.ezproxy.library.yorku.ca/
Click image links below to see the steps involved in locating:
- DOI from Springer Interface:
Step 1: Log-on to Springer Books and then find your book using the Find box. See Image
Step 2: After locating the DOI number of that book add it the end of this link: http://dx.doi.org.ezproxy.library.yorku.ca/
