1. *About 2collab *
2collab
<http://mail.elsevier-alerts.com/go.asp?/bESC001/mIPYEH4/q0GGNH4/uJ0FQ4/xLKDQ5>
is a new, free collaborative research tool that enables
researchers to share bookmarks, references or any linked materials
with their peers and colleagues. Users can share, collaborate and
discuss resources either in private groups or openly with the
wider scientific community.
From the 27th November, 2collab will be officially launched to
the wider scientific community.
An integrated 2collab bookmark button will be automatically
switched on in all Scopus and ScienceDirect accounts. 2collab is
available at: www.2collab.com

Currently the site is in beta.

2. *Key points*
* 2collab enables researchers to collaborate online. Helping
them process the wide breadth of information available today
by giving them a platform to work as a community, 2collab
will enable Elsevier to observe, analyse, and learn from the
wider research community.
* 2collab is an additional service libraries can offer to
their users, complimenting other resources and helping to
drive usage. Most importantly, it provides them with an
insight into evolving information usage habits and research
needs.
* 2collab is a unique new web application developed through
the combined efforts of members of the Scopus, ScienceDirect
and User-Centered Design (UCD) departments.
