From the Library: New e-journal
The Library can now provide Fellows with offsite online access to the journal Soil and Sediment Contamination, from vol.6 (1997) onwards, which includes volumes published as the Journal of Soil Contamination.
This international peer-reviewed publication focuses on soil and sediment contamination from a number of different sources, including offsite and in situ remediation techniques, strategies for assessing health effects and hazards, and tips for dealing with everyday regulatory and legal issues.
Ask the Library for an OpenAthens login, if you don’t have one and visit the Virtual Library webpages or the Library catalogue to discover the Library’s collections of e-journals and e-books.
