Finding the Needle in the BBA Haystack

Do you have a Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) reference with only the volume number and year? Have you search fruitlessly for the section?

There is now an easy way to find the section. ScienceDirect recently posted a chart called BBA Decoder that lists volume numbers with links to sections. It is a project of the University of California at San Diego Libraries. The section link takes you directly to the top page for that section. Once at the section the volume numbers are listed on the left-hand side. Find your volume, and, voila, you are there.
