The USGS has been
digitizing older publications and making them available
on the web. They have completed 41,497 of the total
71,016 documents. They hope to have the project completed
in approximately 3 years.You can connect to the full
text documents several ways, but I find this to be the
best way if you know the specific series: <http://infotrek.er.usgs.gov/pls/htmldb/f?p=127:5:653563621926001>.
(You can also get there by going to the USGS Warehouse
page http://infotrek.er.usgs.gov/pubs/ and clicking
on the Contents tab at the top). This list is updated
daily. From this page you can see the citations for
everything in the series, and also connect to those
that are available in full text. I have added this link
on the Geology Library page <http://www.library.uiuc.edu/gex/GexFind.html>,
on the left under "Find Books and More": USGS
Contents. (4/17/07)

The Office of Web
Services in the campus Public Affairs unit has announced
the first version of a UIUC website designed specifically
for mobile users. Among the services
it offers is a link to the Library's online
catalog. It's also possible to access the Library
Gateway via the "Campus Units (a-z)" link. Users who
connect to the main UIUC web site (www.uiuc.edu) with
a Treo, BlackBerry, Pocket PC, or smart cell phone will
be automatically redirected to the campus mobile web
site. You can preview the mobile web site from any computer
by going to: www.uiuc2go.com
Office of Web Services personnel plan to refine and
enhance this new service in the coming months. (6/15/06)
