News

As you are aware, the NIH now requires that electronic versions of any peer-reviewed manuscripts arising from NIH funding and accepted for publication after April 7, 2008 be deposited in PubMed Central (PMC) and made publicly available by PMC no later than 12 months after publication. In addition, as of May 25, 2008, “anyone submitting an application, proposal, or progress report to NIH must include the PubMed Central reference number (PMCID) when citing articles that arise from their NIH funded research.”

Countway has made all this information available from their website at https://www.countway.harvard.edu/. Included are links to further information. PMC also has very helpful information, with answers to common questions and much more. At http://www.nihms.nih.gov/ there are details about the NIH Manuscript Submission System, and there is an FAQ at http://publicaccess.nih.gov/FAQ.htm.
The newsletter is now available!

Notice the XML button on the Ernst Mayr Library New Books page; you can subscribe to the RSS feed and get notices sent to your aggregator. (And if you don’t use RSS, we’d be happy to show you! It’s a way to get updates from many sources - news websites; organizations such as ubio; databases such as PubMed (which also allows you to directly save your individual references and searches as well as getting updates); journals and publishers (tables of contents or keyword searches); and more, without cluttering up your email.

Need a book from the Biolabs Library? Or, are you in Biolabs and need an item in the Ernst Mayr (MCZ) Library? Contact me by phone (5-1348) or . I’ll even deliver to your lab or office!
Are you having trouble finding a citation? Not sure if we have a journal, or where older issues are? Want some tips on searching for articles? Again, call or email I'll be happy to meet with you or your lab members at your convenience.
Do you have any suggestions for new books or journals? Or suggestions in general? We welcome your input!
Reasons to come to the Ernst Mayr Library: there’s coffee, tea and hot chocolate; a candy jar; lots of cool new books; you can relax in a comfy chair and read or doze in peace; there are paper copies of some new MCB journals and most of the older journal issues; we’re friendly and will give you personal attention; you can browse the stacks and find many treasures; there are quiet places to work; it’s a very special place.
