© Nicolas Brodu. 2003 The astrolabe is an ancient astronomical computer for solving problemsrelating to time and the position of the sun and stars in the sky.Historians credit the invention of the astrolabe to classical Greece.Brass astrolabes were highly developed in the Islamic world of the 8thcentury and later. chiefly as an aid to navigation and as a way offinding the direction of Mecca. In the Middle Ages it found its wayback to Europe and became the chief navigational instrument until theinvention of the sextant in the 18th century.

Journal of Electromyography & Kinesiology is the primary source for outstanding original articles on the study of human movement from muscle contraction via its motor units and sensory system to integrated motion through mechanical and electrical detection techniques.As the official publication of the International Society of Electrophysiology and Kinesiology, the journal is dedicated to publishing the best work in all areas of electromyography and kinesiology, including: control of movement, muscle fatigue, muscle and nerve properties, joint biomechanics and electrical stimulation.

The Journal of Electronic Imaging publishes papers in all technology areas that make up the field of electronic imaging and are normally considered in the design, engineering, and applications of electronic imaging systems. Contributed papers cover research areas that apply directly to electronic imaging or focus on applied electronic imaging technology. Image acquisition Hard copy output Image data storage Image visualization Image data communication Image processing Display of image data Electronic imaging applications

The Journal of Electronic Materials (JEM) reports monthly on the science and technology of electronic materials, while examining new applications for semiconductors, magnetic alloys, dielectrics, nanoscale materials, and photonic materials. The journal welcomes articles on methods for preparing and evaluating the chemical, physical, electronic, and optical properties of these materials. Specific areas of interest are materials for state-of-the-art transistors, nanotechnology, electronic packaging, detectors, emitters, metallization, superconductivity, and energy applications.

Review papers on current topics enable individuals in the field of electronics to keep abreast of activities in areas peripheral to their own. JEM also selects papers from conferences such as the Electronic Materials Conference, the U.S. Workshop on the Physics and Chemistry of II-VI Materials, and the International Conference on Thermoelectrics. It benefits both specialists and non-specialists in the electronic materials field.

The Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship (JERL) provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of current research, evolving work-related processes and procedures, and the latest news on topics related to electronic resources and the digital environment.JERL is dedicated to providing an integrated approach to understanding and managing electronic resources in libraries through scholarly, peer-reviewed literature, opinion pieces, latest news and e-resources related updates. Since topics related to electronic resources span many areas of the profession, the journal seeks to highlight pivotal, interesting and thought-provoking articles and conference presentations to keep professionals and staff of all levels informed of the latest ideas and changes in the field. The scope of the Journal covers, but is not limited to, developments in the following areas: collection development and maintenance technical operations, processes, and digitization training, access and instruction electronic publishing and publications archival issues and preservation institutional repositories open-source and open-access cost analysis and staffing web design and maintenanceThe Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship is intended for library administrators, librarians, and other information professionals who work with managing, purchasing, accessing, teaching, and evaluating electronic resources in libraries. It is also intended to bridge the gap between theory and practice for LIS educators and students and is a starting point for information professionals from various backgrounds concerned with issues surrounding the changes in collections, acquisitions, and services in libraries in the digital age. Peer Review Policy: All research articles in Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship have undergone anonymous double-blind review. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Is your medical library doing all it can to stay up to date? The Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries is a peer-reviewed professional journal devoted to the access, evaluation, and management of electronic resources in the medical library environment. This journal will be an essential resource for academic medical school libraries, hospital libraries, and other health sciences libraries. The material in the Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries will complement articles published in Medical Reference Services Quarterly (also edited by M. Sandra Wood), which highlights the reference and bibliographic instruction aspects of electronic resources. Topics addressed by this new journal include: collection development and selection of electronic resourceselectronic document delivery in medicine and health careenhancing electronic resource user servicesprint versus electronic or combination formatssite licensing-what librarians need to knowdelegating work that involves electronic/digital acquisitionscataloging-e-books, e-journals, and other electronic formatsthe merger of serial and book formats in the electronic librarycoping with electronic misinformation, fraudulence, and shams on the Internet"e-core" lists in medicine, allied health, nursing, pharmaceutical science, mental health, and other health care fieldsthe library's role in medical informaticsaccess issues and solutions for electronic journalsthe impact of electronic resources and the Internet on user serviceselectronic reservesthe role of medical libraries with PDAsarchiving issues for electronic formatscost analyses of digital resourcesdatabase/journal publisher relations and medical libraries Regular columns in the Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries will include: eJournals Forum-discusses all aspects of electronic journalsInformation Rx-reviews of databases and electronic resources in clinical practicePDAs @ the Library-covers all aspects of using PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) in medical libraries and clinical practice The Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries is the source for practical, up-to-date information about important developments and issues related to the provision and use of electronic resources in medical libraries.Peer Review Policy: All manuscripts submitted to Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries are peer reviewed using a rigorous, double-blind process; reviewers are assigned based on subject expertise.
