TRAIL-Technical Report Archive and Image Library: a collaborative project to digitize, archive, and provide persistent and unrestricted access to federal technical reports issued prior to 1975. The Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA) and the Center for Research Libraries (CRL) are collaborating on this pilot project.

e-Polymers is a peer-reviewed internet journal under the auspices of the European Polymer Federation (EPF). In the area of polymer science and engineering, it makes novel scientific and technological results available both in academia and industry, and basically free of charge.

e-Polymers is a forum dedicated to the free and fast exchange of information. Therefore, it will comprise original publications on basic polymer science and engineering, reviews on trends in science and technology, in academia and industry, reports on educational topics, information about joint programmes, e.g. of the EU, job advertisements and appointments of new chairs etc., business reports (abstracts), commercial links and advertisements.

Thus, e-Polymers is the answer to the strange situation that many institutions cannot afford to subscribe to journals which - at the same time - they strongly support by submission of high-quality papers, refereeing etc.
