Have you considered subscribing to Current Contents “on-line” service? I realize that you have access to this service through a single terminal in Perkins, but many of my students have complained that the terminal is often busy (or they simply have not managed to find it!). As a graduate student at UC Davis I was able to use the on-line service via the University of California “Melvyl” System (and thus from any computer hooked up to the net). The service is much more convenient than the CD-Rom towers and is kept more up to date. Of particular use was being able to conduct a single search that goes back at least 7 years. Another useful feature was that I could receive weekly updates on journal articles with chosen key words. The list was sent directly to my own e-mail account. (note that access to the UC Current Contents account requires a password and thus is not open to non-uc affiliates).
I realize it is a costly service, but I would recommend it nonetheless!
