The most current Science issues are now available online
As of January 1, CSULB is subscribed to Science online. You can now access online the most recently published articles in Science.
Accessing Science:
If you are on the campus network, you can simply go to the Science website and access the content: http://www.sciencemag.org/magazine
If you are off-campus, you will need to:
Go to the library’s homepage
Click “Find Specific Journals by Title”
Type in “Science”
Click on “Science”
Click on the fourth title in that list
(A shortcut to this point would be to bookmark this page: http://coast.library.csulb.edu/record=b2165015~S1)
Click “View Availability and Full-text Electronic Issues”
Click “from 01/01/1997 to present in Science Magazine”
You will be required to type in your campus ID number and library password.
The most current Science print copies are still available on the ground floor in the periodicals section.
By the way, we also have the most current Nature issues in print in the periodicals area. For electronic access, you can only get Nature full-text up to 12 months from the current date.

And I'd like to share a story about bringing books to the streets of Portland, OR from the Street Books Librarian.
Books and Bikes!

Updated on June 27, 2012. The newest episode (#7) discusses open access in general and the choices an author makes in deciding whether to make her or his publication open-access.

Tips for Telephone Interview
For upcoming grads and intrepid undergrads looking for jobs and internships this summer, there seem to be many screenings to go through before one lands a position. The phone interview, in particular, can be daunting as the potential employee might not know what to expect, especially without the face-to-face interaction.
The ACS Careers Blog has some good suggestions on how to ace the phone interview. I especially like their recommendation to use a land-line number to ensure that the conversation won't be "dropped." The ending of the phone conversation matters too as one can summarize her qualifications and get a concrete time line for the next step in the interviewing process.
Prepared and you are on your way to a successful venture:
