Never Mind the Weather Look at the Environment [Complete]

As storm Gertrude makes her presence felt in the UK why not batten down the hatches and take a look at our free trial of Environment Complete? This gives access to the full-text of over 1,400 journals and monographs and includes over 3.5 million records from indexed publications, beginning as far back as 1888.

Subject coverage includes all the usual suspects in environmental science. There’s also a cool half million articles related to medicine on there too!

If you like what you see then send us an email and let us know you would like this adding to our online resources. Happy searching and have a great weekend!
