Journal collections: "Ecology & Botany" (coverage) "General Science" (coverage) and "History of Science & Technology " (coverage)

Older volumes have been digitized, starting from the first issues and running up to 3 to 5 years ago; no current issues are available in JSTOR.

Comprehensive, integrated summary of the present state of the field of geochemistry, edited By H. D. Holland and K. K. Turekian . The 10-volume E-book covers: meteorites, comets and planets; the mantle, core, crust and atmosphere; suface and ground water, weathering and soils; oceans and marine geochemistry; sediments, diagemesos and sedimentary rocks; biogeochemistry; environmental geochemistry.

Abstracts/indexing for over 600 resources in all areas of science. Includes some full text. Chemistry coverage includes such journals as: Analytical Cemistry, Canadian Journal of Chemistry and Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry.

Over 1000 leading journals available from the journals' own sites. Includes articles published online ahead of print; plus all of Medline -- with links. Title list by subject.   

The Science Citation Index Expanded™ from Web of Science is a multidisciplinary index to the journal literature of the sciences. It fully indexes 5,900 major journals across 150 scientific disciplines—that's 2,100 more journals than the print and CD-ROM versions of the SCI. The Science Citation Index Expanded includes all cited references captured from indexed articles. 

Comprehensive, timely collections of critical reviews written by leading scientists. Annual Reviews volumes are published each year for 30 focused disciplines within the Biomedical, Physical, and Social Sciences.
