The company also announced enhancements to the NoveList Readers' Advisory Service.The Vocational and Career Collection covers advertising, nursing, hotel management, restaurants, and many others fields. Information includes industry data and articles about interviewing, resumes, compensation, and other pertinent subjects. The collection provides full-text coverage for nearly 340 trade and industry-related periodicals. The General Science Collection offers information on all aspects of scientific study with full-text coverage of more than 60 of the most popular science magazines. Publications covered in the database include Archaeology, Astronomy, National Geographic, Popular Science, and Scientific American, among many others. Subject areas range from the observation, description, identification, and experimental investigation of phenomena to the application of science to industrial and commercial objectives.
