Interesting reading for researchers

This article, just published in Nature Genetics, outlines a common standard for data tagging currently in use in several diverse databases: Toward interoperable bioscience data Nature Genetics 44:121–126 (2012) doi:10.1038/ng.1054 Published online 27 January 2012. "Although ongoing activities hold promise, they are a drop in the ocean compared to the daunting challenges ahead: for example, the integration of clinical and biological data in translational medicine and the establishment of mechanisms to support credit for data sharing, which would benefit data producers for making their data accessible." More info on the ISI metadata tracking framework. News story: Researchers agree on standard for data sharing across the world.

The science of better science, by Gregory Goth. Communications of the ACM 55(2):13-15, Feb. 2012. This article talks a bit about some uses for VIVO, which is a system that has been implemented for WU medical faculty, but not yet all of WU. "Researchers are exploring networked computational analysis, formal classification, and topic modeling to better identify relevant scientists, ideas, and trends."

HathiTrust: WU users can now download fulltext books

As of January 1, 2012, the WU Libraries joined the HathiTrust Digital Library, whose goal is to digitize, preserve, and increase online access to library collections. The trust derives its name from hathi (pronounced "HAH-tee"), the Hindi word for elephant.

HathiTrust began in 2008 and has grown to over 10 million volumes. Content covers subjects and disciplines in the Humanities, Sciences, and Social Sciences in over 425 languages.

WU faculty, students, and staff can:

• Download 2.7 million+ volumes in the public domain. About 30,000 full-view titles are in biomedical science subjects. Most of these are pre-1923.
• Search the full text of 10 million+ volumes. Search page (including fulltext search). You can also search within the full text of a specific item.
• Create personalized collections of items in HathiTrust

You can search for HathiTrust Catalog directly from the WU Libraries' website using the eBooks tab. Note: Hathi books are not included in the WU catalog except by request. Please let Ruth know if you need something added, for example, for convenient student access.
