                      SCI-5: Five Select Science and Technology Sites

    I am pleased to announce the publication of my latest SCI-5 column in
    _Science & Technology Libraries_ (Haworth) titled "Ecological and
    Environmental Data" (see below). In addition to the citation to this
    column, I have also provided the associated Web address for a self-archived
    post-print. In addition, I have also listed my previous SCI-5 columns
    published earlier this year and provided their respective self-archived
    locations.

    The purpose of the SCI-5 column is to profile science and technology sites
    with uncommon but useful content, as well as those with innovative features
    and functionalities. Members of the Science and Technology Communities are
    invited to nominate candidates which they believe will be of interest to
    our colleagues for the full SCI-5 treatment [:-)]

    Enjoy!
