Dear Customer,

A very happy 2007 to all of you. The new year brings an exciting start to Australia and New Zealand, with a number of key seminars and conferences.

In January, Elsevier will be participating in Information Online in Sydney, Australia. There are many exciting activities lined up for all the delegates that drop by our booth!

The first ever Elsevier Bibliometrics Seminar will be held in Sydney, Australia, on 2nd February. The seminar serves as a platform for addressing the issue of new bibliometric indicators, and also the importance of synergising the traditional and the new technologies of bibliometric analysis.

Elsevier would also like to congratulate the 2006 Nobel Laureates. As part of our annual tribute we have made the full text of all the Laureates' Elsevier articles freely available.

Scopus continues to provide users with value-added services, functions and content to enrich the users' experience. Scopus® has signed strategic content deals with a string of publishers and societies including Springer, the Nature Publishing Group, the American Physical Society, and the American Institute of Physics, to add 7 million records from these publishers in addition to Elsevier to complement and enrich the existing, 15 million pre-1996 records.

Scopus has also recently provided a new version of the HTML Feeds and this feature has proved to be useful in promoting the use of Scopus in participating institutions.

As a new initiative in 2007, we hope to conduct scheduled online training sessions for Scopus and ScienceDirect. These sessions will be suited to local Australia and New Zealand times and is catered for your key users. If you are interested to find out more about this, please email me at dl.chng@elsevier.com.

We hope that you will find this issue useful and we look forward to receiving your stories and experiences too. Do send them to dl.chng@elsevier.com.

We look forward to hearing your feedback and meeting you at the events.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Dju-Lyn Chng
