Looking for Today's Science?
After reviewing the use and cost of Today's Science in comparison to other resources we have available online, the University Library has decided to cancel our online subscription to Today's Science effective September 1, 2012.
As an alternative to Today's Science, we recommend Science News. Current coverage (Jan. 4, 1997- date) can be found via Wiley Online access to Science News and older content can be found in Science News in JSTOR.
If you have questions or concerns about this decision, please contact the University Library’s General Reference & Popular Press Electronic Resources Team at grpp@umich.edu

COS Pivot
COS Pivot is a directory of researchers and research funding opportunities that combines two comprehensive, editorially maintained databases: the COS Funding Opportunities database of over 400,000 funding opportunities worth an estimated $33 billion, and the COS Scholar Universe database of 3 million profiles of scholars worldwide. Its proprietary algorithm compiles pre-populated researcher profiles unique to an organization (such as University of Michigan) and matches them to revelant current funding opportunities. This allows U-M users to search for a funding opportunity and instantly view matching faculty from inside or outside U-M. Conversely, a search for a given scholar will link to matching funding opportunities.
Note: Access to personalized features requires personal registration and login. COS Pivot replaces the former COS Expertise service.
RSC Books
Provides full-text access to scholarly books published by the Royal Society of Chemistry from 1968 to present.
