Mnova 14 is a major release that incorporates many new features in NMR, MS, NMRPredict and Screen plugins as well as others. They have integrated a new Electronic and Vibrational Spectroscopies (ElViS) module and as usual they have fixed several bugs.

The 2020 license keys for Mnova are available to current students, faculty, and staff at Stanford. The 2019 license keys will expire 2/14/20 and the 2020 license keys will expire 2/14/21.  In addition to being able to download to your personal computer, Mnova (or Mestrenova) is also available on cluster computers.

One challenge that researchers face is where to look for information.   Google Scholar is popular but doesn’t include the wide array of resources licensed by the Stanford Libraries.  Google Scholar (GS) search results are also limited by the last time GS crawled a website.    Current students, faculty, and staff at Stanford are able to use three customized collections of databases to find needed information.  Developed by the Stanford Libraries and Deep Web Technologies, these databases are grouped by subject categories and multiple subject categories can be searched at one time.   Up to 100 citations are available from each database and the information is retrieved in real-time.  

Are you working on a project that applies a variety of digital, electronic and hand tools such as 3D printing, Arduino microprocessors, soldering, assembling and others? We built a mobile cart with maker equipment and tools for you! This is now available for checkout at the engineering library. The cart comprises the following items (with additions in the coming weeks, based on need/requests):
