American Men & Women of Science
This respected resource is a biographical dictionary of the significant players in the physical, biological, and related sciences. Each edition includes biographical entries on about 120,000 living scientists, providing birthdate; birthplace; field of specialty; education; honorary degrees; current position; professional and career information; awards; memberships; research information; and addresses for each entrant where available.
International Tables of Crystallography
The series comprises articles and tables of data relevant to crystallographic research and to applications of crystallographic methods in all sciences concerned with the structure and properties of materials. Emphasis is given to symmetry, diffraction methods and techniques of crystal structure determination, and the physical and chemical properties of crystals. Each volume also contains discussions of theory, practical explanations and examples, all of which are useful for teaching.

The Springer eBook Collection
Springer has pioneered the largest compilation of electronic books, and offer users unlimited, perpetual access, from anywhere around the globe. Currently, there are about 20,000 eBooks, with approximately 3,000 new Springer titles to be added every year.
Springer allows unlimited simultaneous access to eBooks. Once a library purchases Springer’s eBook Collection, they own the book content of the purchased copyright year for their use in perpetuity. The eBooks’ PDF and HTML documents are fully searchable and can be downloaded and printed. Springer’s online platform, SpringerLink, now integrates Springer eBooks with millions of articles from Springer’s peer-reviewed journals and eBook Series.
Stanford has purchased all of Springer ebooks that were published in 2005-2007. These books are also available via MyiLibrary.
Science Classic 1880–1996
Science Classic is the newly digitized fulltext archive of Science that covers 1880–1996. Issues were scanned cover-to-cover and high resolution PDFs created. Full text-searchable, Science Classic is fully integrated with Science Online. All bibliographic citations, abstracts, and references are available in HTML. References are linked to full-text and to databases.
Springer Online Archives Collection of Journals
Springer has digitized over 800 journals and has made them available in eleven online subject packages (Stanford has now purchased all of them):
- Behavioral Sciences
- Biomedical and Life Sciences
- Business and Economics
- Chemistry and Materials Science
- Computer Science
- Earth and Environmental Sciences
- Engineering
- Humanities, Social Sciences and Law
- Mathematics
- Medicine
- Physics and Astronomy
Springer Online Journal Archives are those journal articles published prior to 1996. Journals may be assigned to more than one package. Exclusions: journals not presently online, not copyrighted, have none of their content in English, or journals discontinued prior to 1995.
Knovel Library and Knovel Plastics
In one interface, the Knovel Library combines authoritative reference content from major sci-tech publishers, including John Wiley & Sons, McGraw-Hill and Elsevier. This data is enhanced with time-saving analytical tools to help analyze and manipulate the data.
Users can analyze and reorganize the data in over 800 full-text engineering and scientific reference works, handbooks, and databases. They can sort, filter and export data from ‘live tables’, resolve equations and plot graphs, capture values from existing graphs and perform ‘what if’ experiments on the data.
Knovel’s uniquely powerful research platform integrates a intuitive yet powerful search engine with a user friendly browse capability to allow the user to discover data in ways which are close to real information seeking behavior. We deliver better results and the ability to work more productively with those results for better decisions.

Stanford Engineering Puzzle
“Stanford Engineering’s nine departments form the core of the school. They are the intellectual home bases for faculty and students alike. We decided this month to celebrate the departments with a puzzle about them and we imagined an essential icon for each one.”
