New Resource database: Mining and Minerals

 

 

OneMine is a collaborative effort among multiple societies to place the world’s most comprehensive collection of mining and minerals based research in one place. Despite being significant in their respective fields, many mining and minerals society journals are still unavailable electronically, OneMine is an attempt to resolve this issue. The Mining and Minerals database includes: technical documents, conference papers, articles, pre-prints and late papers. Though this resource is a ‘.org’ it is not all publically available; to get full text access to material  please link through the UNSW Electronic Resources Portal.

Welcome Chinese New Year

2012 is the Year of the Water Dragon

Australian water dragons can be found locally at the Australian National Botanic Gardens and they are always worth a visit at this time of year. There are also numerous articles available through UNSW FirstSearch on the specific species of dragons found at the Gardens.
