Nominations for _Sci-5_

[Gerry Mckiernan]

                               _Nominations for _Sci-5_

   Members of the Science and Technology community are invited to nominate quality Sci-Tech Web sites and resources for potential review in a new  Science and Technology Libraries  (S&TL) (Haworth) column titled _Sci-5_ edited by Yours Truly. S&TL is now edited by Virginia Baldwin, engineering librarian at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.

   Items of greatest interest for "Sci-5"  are Science _or_ Technology sites with uncommon but useful content, and/or those with innovative features and functionalities. The Sci-5 profiles will be capsule reviews of 400-450 words and will include at least one citation to a major source for additional information.

   For my first column, due July 20th, I will be profiling 5 major e-print servers and am greatly interested in identifying additional candidates other them those listed in the Iowa State list _Preprint Resources on the Web_

   [ http://www.lib.iastate.edu/services/ref/preprint.html ]

BTW:   Our list was  derived from the  article 

    "Preprint Servers: Pushing the Envelope of Electronic Scholarly Publishing"
_Searcher_ 8(9)   Oct 2000

   [http://www.infotoday.com/searcher/oct00/tomaiuolo&packer.htm ]

by my Web colleague Nicholas G. Tomaiuolo and his colleague  Joan G. Packer of the Central Connecticut State University library.

  The Title and Web address of candidate resources for _Sci-5_ are welcome any time, and should be sent to
