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.

Science of Synthesis Update

Science of Synthesis (SoS) has released a new update.

New features include:

• Enhanced text search functionality
• Better Structure/Reaction Searching and Retrieval
• DOI's to increase linking to literature

Science of Synthesis has 4 short tutorials to introduce you to the new features. 

Science of Synthesis was written by chemists for chemists and "provides a critical review of the synthetic methodology developed from the early 1800s to-date for the entire field of organic and organometallic chemistry."

Here's a quick overview of SoS.

GrantForward webinar

GrantForward is holding a free one-hour webinar on How to Use GrantForward as a Researcher, on September 22, 2015 at 1:00pm PST.

Topics to be covered include:

• creating an account
• simple searches and advanced filters
• exporting grants
• saving searches  
• creating a researcher profile

RSVP for the webinar

The GrantForward funding database is available via the Library's institutional subscription. It contains over 9000 active federal and private funding opportunities. Search for fellowships, travel grants, early career investigator funding and more. If you can't make this webinar, GrantForward offers other online tutorials to be accessed anytime.

OVID platform- no access Oct.1st

As of Oct. 1, 2015,  the Library will no longer be providing access to Agricola and Medline via the OVID platform.  These databases are not going away – you will still be able to access them from other platforms, just not on the OVID platform.

Medline is available:

1. via PubMed, the National Library of Medicine's native interface for Medline
2. through SciFinder 
3. or through Web of Science, in the "All Databases” search tab 

Agricola is available free from the National Agricultural Library at http://agricola.nal.usda.gov/.

If you have set up email alerts in OVID, you will be able to access them until Sept. 30, 2015.  Library staff can assist you with re-creating these alerts in any of the Medline databases listed above. Or, for more information on creating search alerts, see the library guide at http://library.scripps.edu/keepingup.

For questions or assistance, contact Library staff.
