Thanks to fast action by our Acquisitions folks as well as Wiley, access to the electronic version of the Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis has been restored.
The annual Horizon Report is a collaborative effort between the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) and the New Media Consortium (NMC). Each year, the report identifies and describes six areas of emerging technology likely to have a significant impact on teaching, learning, or creative expression in higher education within three adoption horizons: a year or less, two to three years, and four to five years. The areas of emerging technology cited for 2010 are:
