Design and development of a chemistry subject portal at Panjab University Library, India

Abstract

Purpose -This paper aims to give a brief description of some chemistry portals available worldwide, folowed by a description of the chemistry portal developed for Panjab University Library, Chandigarh (India). Design/methodology/approach -A well-structured chemistry portal was designed for chemistry and its allied departments at Panjab University based on studies of other chemistry portals worldwide. Findings -All the students, research scholars and faculty members of chemistry and allied subjects are deriving benefit from the use of this portal.Research limitations/implications -The paper provides information about chemistry portals available worldwide. However, only selected portals are presented. Moreover, the information sources included in the chemistry portal may also not be exhaustive. Practical implications -The paper would be of help to librarians who plan to develop such portals for other subjects. Originality/value -The success of the portal has led to a demand from other departments in the university for developing subject portals in their subject areas.

Search for first-generation leptoquarks at HERA

“…The centroids of all jets at the FCAL face were required to be outside a box of 40 × 40 cm 2 centred on the proton beam [38], in order to ensure good energy containment and to reduce the systematic uncertainties due to the proton remnant.…”

The Development of the Writing Portal (TWP) to Support ESL Pre-Service Teachers’ Writing Needs

“…Portal is a gateway that is a major starting point for users when they get connected to the internet or the one that users have a tendency to visit as an 'anchor site' that hosts content from multiple web sites (Singh & Mahajan, 2010). In other words, a portal is a framework for a website that brings together information from a variety of sources, and to offer everything under one roof.…”

Search for first-generation leptoquarks at HERA

“…• at least one hadronic jet with transverse momentum p j T > 15 GeV and |η| < 3, obtained using the k T cluster algorithm [36] in its longitudinally invariant inclusive mode [37], was required. The centroid of any jet at the FCAL face was required to be outside a box of 40 × 40 cm 2 centred on the proton beam [38], in order to ensure good energy containment and to reduce the systematic uncertainties due to the proton remnant. Additional jets were required to have p j T > 10 GeV and |η| < 3;…”
