ScienceDirect maintenance

Elsevier will be updating their ScienceDirect journal platform on Saturday, December 1st. 

During this scheduled maintenance, there may be minor disruptions to some ScienceDirect functionality. 

They are working to provide better support for Google Chrome and Safari and Firefox browsers for the Mac, as well as an improved experience on mobile devices.

If you cannot get into ScienceDirect journals on Saturday, please try again at a later time.

New SpringerLink Platform

Springer, a publisher of many of our subscription journals, is moving to a new platform the week of November 26, 2012. The new SpringerLink should be faster, easier to use and optimized for most mobile devices.

If you have an individual account registered with SpringerLink you will need to set up a new profile/account because your old one will not be migrated. Make sure to do this while within the institution's IP range (i.e., on the TSRI network) as you will then be automatically associated to the Library's access rights. 

 You do not need an individual account to access the Library's subscribed-to content, but some people may have one for saving searches and alerts. 

Access to all other content should remain the same after the migration. 

  

Library Repairs this Weekend 10/12-10/14

Due to recent flooding in the Library, there will be some construction to replace the burst pipe in the ceiling. There will be limited seating available this weekend (10/12-10/14), as well as added noise from the repairs. In addition, some print journals have been moved. 

We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to be back to normal (and all dried out!) as soon as possible.

Genome Research Free Trial

Genome Research - a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on research that provides novel insights into the genome biology of all organisms, including advances in genomic medicine.

Free trial runs for the month of October, 2012

ChemDoodle software available

ChemDoodle is chemical drawing and publishing software available for Windows, Mac and Linux.  There is a one-time (easy!) installation on up to two computers and it even works on your iPhone/iPad or Android device. This resource is new to TSRI and we hope it fills the gap for chemical drawing software for those on Macs and Linux. Get started with the Library's ChemDoodle Guide.

      Features include:

• Chemical file types: supports ChemDraw, ISIS/Sketch, ChemSketch, MarvinSketch, MOLfiles, CML, SMILES, InChI, PDB and others
• Supports spectroscopy input and can simulate mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
• Build reactions with powerful arrow tools and drag and drop interfaces
• Paste scalable vector graphics into your favorite applications, like Microsoft Office, iWork, OpenOffice and Adobe tools

New Online Reference Works

The Kresge Library is pleased to announce the edition of new online reference works, with TSRI author contributions:

NIH Public Access Policy Reminder

The Kresge Library advises researchers that any peer-reviewed National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded article must be deposited into PubMed Central (PMC) upon acceptance by the journal, as required by the NIH Public Access Policy and as a "Term & Condition" of all NIH grants. A PubMed Central ID (PMCID) is required for most articles listed on NIH grants and progress reports. PMCIDs are assigned once a manuscript’s deposit process is complete.

To comply, the corresponding author and/or principal investigator must take multiple actions “before, during, and after” publication of an NIH-funded article: before submitting the manuscript to the journal, during the deposit process, and after acceptance by the journal.

Kresge Library staff can assist researchers and administrative staff with the PMC submission process. Contact staff for help in locating existing PMCIDs, identifying published articles that require PMCIDs, submitting manuscripts to PMC, and using tools such as EndNote and MyNCBI to track compliance for an NIH grant.

For additional information on the NIH Public Access Policy or for assistance with compliance, consult the Kresge Library’s NIH Public Access Policy webpage or contact the Kresge Library Help Desk at x8705.

Library's Mobile Site

The Kresge Library is pleased to announce the release of its mobile website. Find the Kresge Library’s hours, get help, renew books, or search the catalog from an iPhone or Android smart phone.

Elsevier Publishing Boycott Gathers Steam Among Academics

Another interesting article in the Chronicle of Higher Education about scholary publishing, "Elsevier Publishing Boycott Gathers Steam Among Academics".

NIH Success Rate Hits All-time Low

Article in BioTechniques journal, NIH Success Rate Hits All-time Low , states that in 2011 only 18% of new research project grants were funded.

Who Gets to See Published Research?

Article in The Chronicle of Education, "Who Gets to See Published Research?", looks at the proposed Research Works Act and questions if taxpayers help pay for research should they be able to freely access the results in journal articles.

Open Science article in NYT

From the Science section of the New York Times: "Cracking Open the Scientific Process". This article takes a look at how research is currently done and proposes some new models of making the process and results more open. Mentioned in the article is the book, "Reinventing Discovery: The New Era of Networked Science" by Michael Nielsen, which can be checked out from the TSRI Library.

New Library Catalog & Journal List

The Kresge Library now offers the next-generation catalog and search tool, powered by the OCLC WorldCat Local database software. The new catalog provides the library user both a local view of the library materials held at the libraries in La Jolla and Jupiter, as well as a global view of the collective library collections around the world, allowing users to scale searches using the power of the Web to create the information service that best matches their needs.

The new catalog is the main tool the Kresge Library provides to identify links to e-journals and e-books and print books available for loan. It also searches the full Medline database in the same search command. The catalog provides easy-to-use links to the familiar SFX menu and ILLiad request tools. Also available are embedded tools for citing and exporting citations to EndNote and creating and sharing lists.

More information about the new catalog may be found at http://scripps-libraries.worldcat.org/ . Check out the help guide to find out more about searching, using limits and how to renew books in the new system.

The KresgeLibrary has also launched the next-generation A-Z E-journal List, powered by SFX software, the same company that provides the SFX@TSRI tool.

Users are encouraged to explore the features of both these new tools. Previously bookmarked catalog and journal list sites must be updated to point to the new addresses. Contact the Kresge Library at ext. 8705 or email helplib@scripps.edu with questions or comments.
