BIOSIS Previews This link opens in a new windowBIOSIS Previews, accessed via Web of Science, combines journal content from Biological Abstracts with supplemental, non-journal coverage from Biological Abstracts/RRM (Reports, Reviews, Meetings). Specialized indexing helps you discover more accurate, context-sensitive results. Use Web of Science to perform a cited reference search, where you can look up an article and see how many times it has been cited. Users may encounter content in this database the library has not purchased.

Dragonfly FAQ
Q: I can't log into my account and/or library sources.
A: Note that only currently enrolled students are included in publisher licenses for online materials purchased by the Libraries. Students who are not enrolled at Miami for the current term will not normally be able to access library resources. If you are not currently taking classes in your program, contact Connie Malone in the Project Dragonfly offices at malonecm@miamioh.edu or (513) 529-5103.
If you are currently enrolled and are unable to log in to library resources using your Miami U ID and password, go here to reset/change your password: https://was.miamioh.edu/perl/was/changepassword. This often resolves the problem.
Q: My name doesn't show up in the university's directory.
A: Some new Dragonfly students do not immediately show in the University Directory. Whether a student's name displays in the directory is not necessarily indicative of whether they are enrolled and have library privileges.
