Dear Customer,
In the last two months, we have been
busy organizing trainings, Scopus -
End User Awareness Days and attending events such as the
Thai Academic
Library Consortium Seminar
and the
Library Association of Singapore Gala
Dinner.
In this issue, I'd like to bring you attention to the Scopus
Librarian's Information site (link) that has been created to help our
Scopus customers select from a range of resources the support and
resources needed to promote of Scopus to their end-users. We have also
recently launched the Elsevier Admin Tool and the latest issue of
Library Connect newsletter and pamphlet are both available.
Meanwhile, we have continued to expand the content of ScienceDirect
with the addition of more leading Major Reference
Works titles and the creation
of the Medicine and Dentistry Backfiles in 17
Speciality Packages.
I hope you continue to find this newsletter useful. As I will be going
on maternity leave from Dec 05 to Mar 06, please direct all your
enquiries during this period to my colleague, Ching Ni at
cn.wee@elsevier.com.
Best regards,

Bee Lan, Swee
Account Development Manager |

Scopus End-User Awareness Days in Thailand |

In Nov, we held Scopus demo days at
Mahidol University, Chulalongkorn University, Kasetsart University and
Thammasat University to help raise the level of awareness of Scopus at
these campuses.
At each location, at least 100 end-users turned up at our
booth to find out more about Scopus. They also took part in quizzes and
lucky dips.
Please send us an
email if you are interested in working with Elsevier to organise
similar promotional activities for Scopus. |
