NJIT Welcomes Sophisticated Electronic Science Database

NJIT President Saul K. Fenster and Gov. Christine Todd Whitman heralded the opening of a sophisticated electronic science database available to students and faculty in 15 state colleges and university libraries, Dec. 14, in the William Van Houten Library.

The Virtual Academic Library Environment (VALE) program is made available through an agreement with Science Direct, the world's largest database of scientific, medical and technical information. VALE offers users access to more than 1,200 scientific journals. NJIT has been a leader in establishing the consortia of libraries. Richard Sweeney, NJIT librarian and a member of the VALE Executive Board, was a prime mover in negotiating the Elsevier agreement. Last year, NJIT was the only New Jersey institution of higher learning to contract with Elseveir for access to Science Direct.
