Journal Citation Reports on the Web is now available from the LSU Libraries; faculty and students may access (both on and off-campus) the JCR reports from the list of Indexes and Databases on the Libraries web site.

Journal Citation Reports is a comprehensive and unique resource that allows you to evaluate and compare journals using citation data drawn from over 7,500 scholarly and technical journals from more than 3,300 publishers in over 60 countries. JCR Science Edition contains data from over 5,900 journals in science and technology. JCR Social Sciences Edition contains data from over 1,700 journals in the social sciences.

It is the only source of citation data on journals, and includes virtually all areas of science, technology, and social sciences. Journal Citation Reports can show you the:
· Most frequently cited journals in a field
· Highest impact journals in a field
· Largest journals in a field

Citation and article counts are important indicators of how frequently current researchers are using individual journals. By tabulating and aggregating citation and article counts, JCR offers a unique perspective for journal evaluation and comparison.

A change has been made in iLink (for off-campus access to electronic resourcs) for patrons who have forgotten their PINs.

They can now submit their LSU ID or T-card number and have their PIN emailed to them. The PIN is sent to the email address in their patron record.

I am once again soiiciting for suggestions and requests for books to be purchased by Middleton Library. Please email me your suggestions at jryan1@lsu.edu. I have been able to procure nearly every book requested, so your suggestions really do make a difference.

Thanks,
Jenna
