New Databases

Recently the library added three new databases to our web site:

1. ASH Image Bank. Produced by the American Society of Hematology, the ASH Image Bank is intended to serve as a comprehensive reference and teaching tool that is widely accessible to physicians and hematology students around the world.

2. Historical Statistics of the United States. This newly-updated (2006) fourth edition contains a variety of quantitative facts about US history. Users can create their own tables, or else download pre-existing tables in Microsoft Excel or Access formats. Broad topics covered include population, work and welfare, economic structure and performance, economic sectors, and governance and international relations.

3. Proteome. Proteome provides access to six protein databases: YPD, HumanPSD, WormPD, GPCR-PD, PombePD, and MycopathPD. The databases feature disease information, references, Bioknowledge transfer and integrated resources. One-time site registration required.
