Hekman Library understands the power of reading well-regarded scientific journals and citing cutting-edge studies in your research papers. That’s why we worked hard to upgrade our access on www.nature.com. The high-impact journal Nature has always been part of our collection, and now you’ll have full access to Nature’s subject-specific counterparts like Nature Reviews Genetics, as well as the ever-popular Scientific American magazine.

Whether you’re reading for a chemistry class, preparing for grad school, or just trying to impress your professor, Nature.com covers top research in the areas of “life, physical, chemical and applied sciences, and clinical medicine.” Try bookmarking the URL for the journal Nature; then, monitor current issues and advance online publications. Too busy to read everything? Subscribe to the free Nature podcast and listen to a summary of each week’s issue while walking to class!
