Today’s Science Brings Home the Platinum!
Ask any scientist what they know about platinum, and they’d tell you that it’s a dense but malleable precious silver-white metal with a high melting point. They may even know its chemical symbol (Pt) and atomic number (78). But thanks to LibraryWorks’ ninth annual Modern Library Awards (MLAs), Platinum is also the distinction awarded to Today’s Science—which has been helping students think like scientists since 1992. This esteemed distinction is not easy to come by. Today’s Science was reviewed by 80,000 library professionals who assessed the essential STEM database for its quality, functionality, value, customer service experience, and overall satisfaction. On a scale of 1 to 10—with 1 being “least satisfied” and 10 “most satisfied”—Today’s Science scored an impressive 8.53. “We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from librarians and teachers after adding Infobase’s Science Online and Today’s Science to our statewide resource collection,” one judge commented. “The platforms are easy to navigate, and the content fills the previously unmet need for high-quality science resources.” While the award is new, many of our existing partners and users have been with us for decades. We are proud to provide science content that helps your institution thrive. Not familiar with Today’s Science? Read
