Description		The Encyclopedia of Life Sciences provides access to more than 4,000 articles related to the Life Sciences. The authors are specialists in their fields and submit their articles to an editorial review board in each major subject area. Written for a very broad life sciences audience, the articles are coded for the level of readership from non-technical to researcher. The authors update their articles periodically. ELS also includes 30 Keynote Articles that present controversial issues or ideas of current interest. To browse the available list of articles, users may select from an alphabetical list of article titles or a hierarchical list of topics. Traditional keyword/author/title and Boolean searching are available. In addition to the title, all article entries include the level of readership, the authors' names and the date of submission. Users may display abstracts as well as fulltext and pdf versions of the article. By creating an account on My Profile, users may save searching histories as well as articles for later review.
