Open Access at Washington University

New library guide: Open Access at Washington University

Upcoming events: Open Access @ Washington University: Why Here? Why Now? Why Care? The University Libraries invites you to this session to get the facts about the Open Access Resolution adopted by the WU Faculty Senate and what it means to your rights as an author. This is especially relevant to faculty but other scholarly authors or prospective authors may be interested also. Bring your questions! Thurs., October 27, Noon-1, Danforth University Center room 276. REFRESHMENTS WILL BE PROVIDED. For more information, contact Ruth Lewis rlewis@wustl.edu Preregistration requested
A similar session will be held at the medical campus (Holden Auditorium, Farrell Learning and Teaching Center), Tuesday, October 25 at noon, in case that fits your schedule better. More information about the Medical Campus session

New York Times September 18, 2011: Internet Ruffles Pricey Scholarly Journals, by D.D. Guttenplan. "Open access is now an established part of the publishing landscape,” said Mr. Patterson of PLoS, “but there is still a long way to go before it becomes the dominant model."

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.
Because I get these lists from compilations at Springer, there are always newer books available (which I will post next month). If you are looking for a book from Springer or a Springer-related publisher, it never hurts to search at http://www.springerlink.com/books. We have not yet purchased the 2012 package, so books with 2012 copyright dates are not yet accessible to WU-users.

Resources added to biology library web pages in Sept. 2011

COBRA Collection of Biostatistics Research Archive Preprints, working papers, some peer reviewed journal articles

Nature Precedings

Full text, 2011+; freely avaialble; not really a journal but a permanent, citable archive for pre-publication research and preliminary findings. The archive allows for researchers to share documents, including presentations, posters, white papers, technical papers, supplementary findings, and non-peer-reviewed manuscripts.

How to cite data

We now have a page on citing data available on Citing Your Sources & Writing Styles. This was inspired by a recent blog post, Draft boilerplate text for journal policy on data citation.

A new creature in the biodiversity world: the data paper is an interesting post on a related topic.

See also Researchers failing to make raw data public Nature news, Sept. 14, 2011, about research published in PLoS One: Public Availability of Published Research Data in High-Impact Journals and Who Shares? Who Doesn't? Factors Associated with Openly Archiving Raw Research Data.

Links to availability at WU Becker Medical Library

Get it! buttons, which are found in most databases, now include an option to "Check if this is available from the Becker Medical Library" when we do not have fulltext online access in the Get it! menu. If you are using databases from Becker Library, their Get It@Becker buttons also include an option to "Check if this is available from the Danforth Campus Libraries."

Get it! with Pubmed: To have Get it! buttons in PubMed you need to use a link from a library web page. For locating fulltext from PubMed, I recommend the publisher's link/graphic first and the green Get It! or red Get It@Becker buttons second. Personally I like to have BOTH buttons by using My NCBI with Outside Tool Preference set to "Washington Univ. in St. Louis, Danforth Campus" AND Linkout icon set to "Washington University Medical School Becker Library, MO." MY NCBI has other features, such as saved searches. More info about My NCBI.

HHMI Holiday Lectures on Science 2011

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute 2011 Holiday Lectures on Science will be "Bones, Stones and Genes: the Origin of Modern Humans." You can watch live Oct. 6 at 9 am. The archive will be available October 11, 2011. I will request the DVD copy as soon as it is available. Most of the previous HHMI holiday lectures are available in the library, for example, Viral outbreak : the science of emerging disease, Exploring biodiversity: the search for new medicines, Making your mind: molecules, motion, and memory, and many more.

Paper books added Sept. 2011

Buy not borrow: In February, we began to purchase books requested on Interlibrary Loan when they can be acquired quickly, cost less than $100, are not available in Mobius or GWLA (another library consortium we use a lot), etc. These are paid for from a special fund. Buying the book may cost less than locating and borrowing a copy. You may sometimes see odd titles in our new books list and wonder why they were purchased; often this will be the explanation.

Requests: I welcome your requests for book and journal purchases. You may email Ruth directly or use the web forms: Recommend a book for purchase or Recommend a journal purchase or cancellation. Thank you!
