Passing this along from the Science Librarians list...
DiscoveryGate, the web-based interface for Beilstein and Gmelin, is now available. See http://www.lib.umn.edu/site/moreinfo.phtml?id=14556 for more information. It doesn't require client software download, but PC users will need to download a small piece of software (for graphics purposes, I think). Pop-ups also need to be enabled for the website to be able to use it. All those Intel Mac users in AHC should once again be able to access Beilstein from their computers.
Jody Kempf and I are working on learning the new interface so we can teach people how to use it. We're having a workshop on Tuesday, October 16 at 4:30 pm, but I'm happy to answer questions about it any time.
