>The Scientist-- on the Penn Library Web
>
>http://www.the-scientist.library.upenn.edu/
>
>The University of Pennsylvania Library became the host and publisher for
>the World Wide Web edition of The Scientist beginning with the January
>8, 1996 issue.  The Scientist is a bi-weekly periodical containing news
>and commentary on topics in the life sciences.
>
>The new Penn-based edition of The Scientist, fully designed for the
>World Wide Web, includes a number of enhancements over an earlier online
>version that appeared in 1992 and continues to be available for Gopher
>and other text-only Internet browsers.  First, the Web version allows a
>stronger emphasis on design.  The new format, enriched with graphics,
>also features navigational buttons and hot links to earlier editions of
>The Scientist; academic, industry, and government homepages; documents
>from other Web sites; and e-mail addresses of authors.  The reader's
>access to source materials -- conceptually linked but physically
>distinct from the published text -- is therefore significantly broadened
>and facilitated in an altogether new way.
>
>Penn and other research libraries are devoting increasing effort to
>defining the preserve of academic information on the Internet, and to
>exploring the Internet's potential for disseminating the products of
>scholarship.  This Web edition is the Penn Library's initial foray into
>electronic publishing.
>
>The Scientist joins an expanding set of electronic information resources
>available through the Penn Library Web, including library catalogs,
>journal citation files, reference works, and fulltext files.
