The data from the 2007 Journal Citation Reports is now available in the ISI Web of Knowledge database. This data gives information on how many times a journal was cited, how many it has cited other journals and it’s impact factor, among others.
This kind of information is interesting when you are choosing a journal for submitting an article, or when you are collecting additional information for a tenure and/or promotion dossier.
You can access the Journal Citation Reports in the Web of Knowledge database. Go to MetaLib, search the database by name and click on the resulting link. In the database itself, at the very top, you will see tabs. Under the “Select a database” tab, you will see the option for the Reports. If you are from off campus, don’t forget to log into the network first. Access to this date is reserved for USF faculty, students and staff.

This reference work covers the cognitive sciences in the broadest sense. It reviews the common themes of information and information processing, representation, and computation, with in depth coverage of the core areas of psychology, philosophy, linguistics and neuroscience. Includes over 16,500 references and 1,500 illustrations.
- Encyclopedia of RF and Microwave Engineering
Based on the six-volume Encyclopedia of RF and Microwave Engineering, the online version of this resource represents the most comprehensive single source of information on RF and Microwaves. It serves as a compendium of theory, design methods, and applications as well as an examination of technologies and future trends. Each article includes an overview of each subject, followed by in-depth descriptions of important theory, technology developments, and applications. Features such key topics as Electromagnetics, Wave Propagation, RF Circuits, RF Receivers, Microwave Antennas, RF and Microwave Photonics, CAD Techniques and Modeling, Noise, Communications Systems, Radio Technologies, and Remote Sensing. It is well illustrated with over 5000 figures and photos.
- Encyclopedia of Environmetrics
The Encyclopedia of Environmetrics covers the development and application of quantitative methods in the environmental sciences. It provides essential tools for understanding, predicting, and controlling the impacts of agents, both man-made and natural, which affect the environment. Basic and applied research in this area covers a broad range of topics. Primary among these are the quantitative sciences, such as statistics, probability and applied mathematics, chemometrics, and econometrics. Other applications included are important in ecology and environmental biology, public health, atmospheric science, geology, engineering, risk management, and regulatory/governmental policy.

To note, the Teaching the levees kit under “DVDs/VHS” contains the Spike Lee’s documentary When the levees broke as well as a teaching guide. As well, we received our copy of Dr Judith Ponticell’s 2000 publication, Rethinking Creativity, for the USF Lakeland Faculty Publications Special Collection.

The USF Libraries have acquired the multidisciplinary database SourceOECD.
SourceOECD is an online library of statistical databases, books, and periodicals from OECD, the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development. The OECD, a membership of 30 countries, is one of the world’s largest publishers in the fields of economics and public policy. SourceOECD is comprised of over 1,800 online books with unrestricted access grouped in 24 themes, 24 periodicals, 3 reference titles, and 26 OECD statistical databases, all in full text. Themed groupings include: Education, Energy, Emerging Economies, Environment & Sustainable Development, Finance and Investment, Science, Social Issues, Urban and Regional Development, Transportation and more. Twenty-six statistical databases from the OECD are presented enabling users to download data and build their own tables, in real time. Users can also build cross-database tables. OECD has recently launched OECD.Stat that allows searches across the various OECD databases. It is now in a beta test until September 2008. The USF Libraries hold a subscription to all OECD online publications with the exception of the third-party IEA Statistics.
To access it, search MetaLib by using the “Search the Databases” link on the library’s main page.

Business students and faculty will find the DataStream Advance database from Thomson on computer 1115-42 in the Group Study area of the Library.
Because of licensing conditions and the necessity for client software installation, this database is not available through MetaLib. The USF Lakeland has one seat for access. Because of this, priority for computer 1115-42 will be given to those wishing to use the database.
Here is a bit more information about the database:
Thomson Datastream is the most respected historical financial numerical database, covering an unparalleled breadth of financial instruments, equity and fixed-income securities and indicators for over 175 countries and 60 markets worldwide.
