Biology Library News

Ebooks added, August, 2011

Free ebooks on Project Muse - these will be freely available through the end of 2011:
Wired Wilderness: Technologies of Tracking and the Making of Modern Wildlife
Taking Science to the People: A Communication Primer for Scientists and Engineers
Missionary Scientists: Jesuit Science in Spanish South America, 1570-1810
Edison's Electric Light: The Art of Invention
Mother Earth and Uncle Sam: How Pollution and Hollow Government Hurt Our Kids

Freely available:
These 3 books crossed my screen on the same day. We have them all in paper. The online versions are freely available. They highlight the fact the freely available digitized copies are not just the very old, public domain volumes you might expect. The Hathi Trust versions will be especially useful after WU joins Hathi Trust in January, 2012, because then they can be downloaded. Meanwhile the Biodiversity Heritage Library versions can be downloaded and the Hathi Trust versions can be viewed easily.
Photosynthesis, by H. A. Spoehr. 1926. Also at Hathi Trust
The photosynthesis of carbon compounds, by Melvin Calvin. 1962. Also at Hathi Trust
Photosynthesis, by Eugene Rabinowitch [and] Govindjee. 1969.
Note: We cannot and do not add all such online title access to our online catalog. But remember they are there and easily found using a few search tools. My favorites are Bookserver (Internet Archive) (which includes Biodiversity Heritage Library), Hathi Trust (which you can search like a catalog for authors and titles or search within fulltext), and Google Books. If you ever want such materials to be listed in our catalog so that students will be more likely to find and use them, for example for reserve, please just let Ruth know. It's easy to add them; we just can't add all of them.

New Ebooks from Springer:
NOTE: Supplementary materials released with the print books (CD-ROMs, for example) are made available to the purchasers of the e-books at http://extras.springer.com.
This month I'm beginning a new procedure. Instead of adding titles individually throughout the month, I'm just going to download a list from Springer once, near the end of the month. Initially there may be some overlap with titles from previous months. Also I've noticed that often Springer lists a title as NEW that has been released on Springerlink.com earlier. I assume there has been some revision of the record or something. Anyway, I apologize for some duplication but this will save me a lot of time, so I hope you still find the monthly compilations useful!

Upcoming Classes and Taste of Technology Fair

NIH Public Access Policy class, Sept. 7, 10 am on the Medical Campus. Please preregister if you plan to attend. Details and registration. This is a very useful overview for all NIH-funded researchers or staff that assist them with their publications.

Upcoming classes from the library: Twitter, Prezi, Zotero, and more -- http://wulibraries.doattend.com/.

Taste of MOBILE Technology: Come enjoy the buffet of mobile services offered by the Libraries at the Taste of Mobile Technology Fair, Tuesday, September 13, 2011, noon-2 pm at the Danforth University Center (DUC). Technology tastings will feature information on library services accessible through mobile devices such as the iPad, netbooks, and various Smartphones. Come learn about new tech tools and register for upcoming workshops! Feel free to stop by the Fair anytime noon-2. This event is open to the entire University community. We look forward to seeing you there! Registration not required for the Taste of Mobile Technology.

Here and there - Interesting sites and reading

    -- We now have online access to the Dictionary of Literary Biography. Biofolk may be interested in the extensive entry for Charles Darwin and others.
    -- The Biodiversity Heritage Library image collections are beginning to be a useful source. Searching isn't optimum but the images are lovely. http://www.flickr.com/photos/biodivlibrary/collections/72157627047804261/
    -- Want to Be a Good Researcher? Try Teaching [Chronicle of Higher Education, August 18, 2011] "Graduate students in the sciences who both teach and conduct research show greater improvement in their research skills than do those who focus exclusively on laboratory work, says a report to be published in the August 19 issue of Science. The report, "Graduate Students' Teaching Experiences Improve Their Methodological Research Skills," is notable for being among the first to examine gains in the actual research skills of graduate students rather than what they report about themselves."
    -- Do you miss me? The Biology Library has been closed for 2 years now and I do miss seeing many of you in the library, hallways, etc. I have a new introduction video you may want to view, just to remember what I look like! Keep in touch.
    -- How many research papers are freely available? A new chart from David Lipman, director of the US National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), shows that about one-third of new biomedical papers indexed in PubMed are OA. "The chart shows the proportion of papers indexed on the (largely biomedical) PubMed repository each year that are now freely accessible: in 2009, it's above 28%....Those numbers are even more impressive than a study last year which found that around 20% of research papers published in 2008 were freely available on the internet. The growth is due to various public access mandates by federal government and by funding agencies - as well as the success of open access publishers like the Public Library of Science. "What's interesting is the relatively stable linear slope here for more than 10 years," says David Lipman...."
    -- Mendeley 1.0 is here Mendeley, a free reference manager and academic social network that can help you organize your research, collaborate with others online, and discover the latest research, is no longer Beta. More information about Mendeley.
    -- The Method D list of publishers that submit to PubMed Central for NIH-funded authors continues to grow. Authors still need to monitor to ensure that deposit occurs at publication and that publishers know their work in NIH-funded.
