JoVE, the Journal of Visualized Experiments, which is subscribed to by the library, has announced a new section, JoVE Environment.

"JoVE Environment is a multidisciplinary section devoted to the publication of research methods employed in environmental science and green technologies. JoVE Environment will feature experimental techniques and approaches aimed at understanding the earth, protecting natural resources, and creating a more sustainable and environmentally-conscious planet. And as with all of JoVE, all video articles are peer-reviewed."

UQ Architecture Winter Sleep-out 2013

University of Queensland Architecture students will be sleeping rough next Thursday night August 29 for a good cause. They will be raising money for Mission Australia as part of their annual fund raising event to assist the homeless. Anyone wishing to make a donation can pledge support via the online fundraising portal per the link below:

In addition the School of Architecture will be hosting a barbeque on the evening of Thursday August 29 starting from 6pm and everyone is welcome to come to share in the informal discussion about issues of homelessness and housing affordability. Whilst food will be provided for free all donations received on the night will be very welcome.

If you are interested in a more active participation and wish to join the team who are sleeping rough, please email either Chi Tang at chi.tang@uqconnect.edu.au or Michael Dickson at m.dickson@uq.edu.au to find out more about the arrangements and maximising your fund raising potential. Alternatively, please visit the Facebook page: "UQ Winter Sleepout 2013" for more information.

Engineers : do take advantage of access provided by UQ Library to the premier information resources for civil engineers. Two of the best are the ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) and ICE (Institution of Civil Engineers) as demonstrated by their inclusion in the top twenty engineering websites recently listed by Global Site Plans.

The ASCE Library helps to find articles of interest across all disciplines of civil engineering providing full-text papers from published ASCE Journals and Proceedings while the ICE Virtual Library is an online civil engineering resource. It hosts the full archive of the Institution of Civil Engineers back to 1836, including journals and books.
