Our patrons have wished to be able to have access to  the key journals in their fields from the first volumes although there might be printed versions available in the Library. During the last few years the Library has acquired for instance a few digital backfiles from  Wiley. Quite recently we purchased American Instute of Physics Digital Archive.  This resource provides to the staff and students of the UH access for instance  to the following journals:

In addition to these key journals which we have the current subscription for there are the following publications available in the resource: Chaos (1991-1998),  Journal of Laser Applications (1988-1998), Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data (1972-1998) Low Temperature Physics (1997-1998) Physics of Fluids (1958-1998) Physics of Plasmas (1958-1998) ,AIP Conference Proceedings (1970-1998). Any of these publications can be found through the list of of the AIP journals accessible to us.

One quite recent Wiley backfiles acquisition is the archive of JQS. Journal of quaternary science.   Do not forget a few other backfiles of science journals from Wiley we have purchased during last few years.

Treatise on Geophysics (2nd Edition) is a comprehensive and in-depth study of the physics of the Earth and of terrestrial-like planets residing both within and outside our solar system. Its breadth and detail of coverage are beyond what any single geophysics text can provide.

The first edition of the Treatise on Geophysics was published in 2007. In this new edition, the reader will find updates to all the chapters contained in the first edition and new chapters that discuss topics missing from the first edition which we have had in the Library’s printed collections.
