IReL Delivers – new resources

In 2007, over 2,000 researchers from the seven Irish universities, including 190 from DCU, took part in the IReL Impact Survey. We asked you what resources you would like to see added to IReL. Here’s the progress we’ve made since:

• American Geophysical Union Journals, plus Journal of Geophysical Research and Geophysical Research Letters: ORDERED – COMING SOON
• Environment and Planning Series: ORDERED – COMING SOON (END OF JULY)
• Journal of the Acoustical Society of America: NOW AVAILABLE
• New England  Journal of Medicine (NEJM): NOW AVAILABLE
• SPIE Digital Library – AVAILABLE
• SCOPUS – UNDER NEGOTIATION

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this survey. We value your input so we can continue to offer the resources you need for your research.
