To:  All SCI-3L list members

Having recently joined Lynne Harrison as co-moderator of this list, I
thought I should forward a few notices which might be of interest to
you.  Please excuse me if you already know about this, or if it is
irrelevant to you.

With best wishes,

Martin Counihan

Dear all

Apologies for cross-posting

The Wellcome Library has launched psci-comlit
<http://psci-com.org.uk/pscicomlit/>, a new bibliographic database,
available free-of-charge. The database has been developed to provide
a
searchable source of journal, newspaper and book references on
science
communication, public engagement with science and the wider issues
of
science in society.

A broad range of journals, newspapers and new book acquisitions are
scanned to create the descriptive records that populate the database.
In addition, the records are used to produce a monthly current
awareness bibliography, also accessible from the psci-comlit page.

Other topics covered include public attitudes towards science, science
writing, science centres, science and the media and science education.

The psci-comlit database is located on the psci-com
<http://psci-com.org.uk/> web site, a gateway to high quality web
sites on similar topics. Further features of the web site include an
electronic calendar of conferences, workshops and events and access
to
an electronic discussion forum, also called psci-com.

psci-comlit was created and is being continually expanded by the
Wellcome Library in collaboration with the BIOME team at the
University of Nottingham.  There are currently over 1200 records which
date back to 1999.

If you have any comments or suggestions about the new database,
please
