Access to JoVE

New access to JoVE: Journal of Visualized Experiments

The Kresge Library is pleased to announce access to three sections of JoVE, the Journal of Visualized Experiments.
 JoVE is a protocol resource that shows you experimental techniques through videos instead of simply reading about them. The visual format can help increase reproducibility and cut down on the time it takes to learn new experimental procedures. Each video normally includes step-by-step instructions, a demo of equipment and reagents and a discussion of possible issues and modifications.

  • JoVE Biology is a diverse section which includes cellular biochemistry, physical biology, genetics, physiology, systems biology, molecular biology, organismal biology and eukaryotic and prokaryotic model systems
  • JoVE Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary section whose primary emphasis is methods and techniques related to the structure, function, physiology and pathophysiology of the brain and nervous systems
  • JoVE Immunology and Infection is on trial access through 2016. Techniques deal with pathogens and therapeutic agents and range from the molecular to the organism level.
Videos are authored by scientists like you. Currently we have 7 authors from TSRI who have authored JoVE videos. Other videos come from Harvard, Cornell, UCSD, Johns Hopkins, NIH and MIT among a long list of contributors. JoVE is indexed by PubMed, SciFinder and Scopus.

We hope you find this beneficial to your research and the Library would love to hear any comments you have about this resource.

Burgers Medicinal Chemistry & Patty's Industrial Hygiene Online

The Library is pleased to announce the new edition of Burger's medicinal chemistry, drug discovery and development, available online. This updates the Library's print edition and makes it available to both campuses.

The new edition contains new and updated articles and covers the areas of:

  • Drug Discovery

  • Drug Development

  • Cardiovascular, Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases

  • Pulmonary, Bone, Vitamins and Autocoid Therapeutic Agents

  • Cancer

  • Antiinfectives

  • Central Nervous System Disorders



The Library has also purchased the new edition of Patty's industrial hygiene, online, to update its previous print edition. Patty's industrial hygiene "presents valuable information on the recognition and evaluation of chemical agents, physical agents, and biohazards in the workplace, as well as engineering control of exposure and personal protection."

New Online Reference Works

The Kresge Library is pleased to announce online access to two major reference works: Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry II and Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry III. There are unlimited concurrent users and 24/7 access.


Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry II content comprises of drug research, covering major therapeutic classes and targets, research strategy and organization, high-throughput technologies, computer-assisted design, ADME and case histories. Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry III comprises of applications in organometallic chemistry with a strong organic synthesis focus, and provides an overview of developments in this field as well as future trends.


We hope you will find the online access to these resources useful in your research and coursework.
