Dr. Péter Jacsó’s (faculty at the University of Hawaii has posted two new reviews on “Péter’s Digital Reference Shelf” for September, 2007.

1) McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th edition
He writes:

This most current of the few comprehensive science and technology dictionaries with a rather hefty price tag in book format is brought to us free in digital format by Answers.com. Our delight with the dictionary, however, is spoiled by a serious glitch in the software that hides many definitions available in the dictionary.

2) PILOTS
Summary of Review:

PILOTS is an important open access indexing/abstracting database of journal articles, books, book chapters, doctoral dissertations, reports and pamphlets related to various stress disorders. In spite of its name and sponsorship, it is not restricted to issues related only to veterans and military matters, neither to posttraumatic stress. It also covers serious acute stress disorders (ASD) in all ways of life from all the angles, from medical, psychological and sociological to legal and economical. It is a genuinely multidisciplinary indexing/abstracting database with an increasing number of links to the full–text documents, including many (but not all of the) open access ones from the broad spectrum of journals it covers. The new host of the database is CSA which makes it open access to the public and brings along the pro features of the Illumina platform.

Note: Access via Both Platforms is Free!
Direct to Pilots Database via CSA.
