To start the new year the Library has gained access to all of the biomedical and scientific journals published by Mary Ann Liebert. Access begins in most cases back to mid-1999.
Titles include Journal of Women's Health, Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, Journal of Neurotrauma, Pediatric Asthma, Allergy & Immunology, Cloning and Stem Cells, Journal of Computational Biology, Microbial Drug Resistance, CyberPsychology and Behavior, and Cancer biotherapy & radiopharmaceuticals .
For more information write or call, Florence Schreibstein, schreibs@aecom.yu.edu, 718-430-3110.

Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology Archive
The library has acquired the electronic backfile to the Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology.
The double helix, the genetic code, jumping genes, the PCR technique, the human genome project, and RNA interference ... were announced, debated and distilled at the Cold Spring Harbor Symposia.
From the very beginning the meetings set high standards. Herbert Gasser won a Nobel Prize in 1944, and other eminent participants included Kenneth Cole (nerve conduction), Donald Van Slyke (protein chemist) and Leonor Michaelis (Michaelis-Menten equation) . The 1933 meeting lasted one month. There were 29 scientists working in labs and giving talks.
The sales of the Symposia volumes were an important source of income for the Biological Laboratory, and, some 30 years later, saved what had become the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory from bankruptcy.
The link to the archives can be found in the library's catalog or the online journal list.

BMJ Point of Care
The Library now has a trial subscription to BMJ Point of Care, a new clinical resource brought to you jointly by the BMJ Group and Epocrates.
BMJ Point of Care is designed specifically to deliver diagnosis and treatment guidance in the clinical setting. It provides:
* Comprehensive disease monographs that include competing diagnoses, treatment approaches, tests to order, and guidelines
* Treatment details organized by patient group
* Embedded links to BMJ Clinical Evidence
* Information on over 3,300 drugs and 400 alternative medicines, with a comprehensive drug interaction checking tool
* Up-to-date, detailed formulary information for top national and regional healthcare insurance plans
* Fully referenced with links to Pubmed abstracts
* A useful pill identifier tool plus hundreds of helpful medical tables and calculators.
The trial will end at the end of 2008. Try it and send an email to askref@aecom.yu.edu to tell us what you think.

The HIV Molecular Immunology Database
The HIV Molecular Immunology Database is an annotated, searchable collection of HIV-1 cytotoxic and helper T-cell epitopes and antibody binding sites from the Division of AIDS, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, through an interagency agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy. The goal of this database is to provide a comprehensive listing of defined HIV epitopes.
The data included in this database are extracted from the HIV immunology literature. HIV-specific B-cell and T-cell responses are summarized and annotated. Immunological responses are divided into three sections, CTL (CD8+), T helper (CD4+), and antibody. Within these sections, defined epitopes are organized by protein and binding sites within each protein, moving from left to right through the coding regions spanning the HIV genome. Human responses to natural HIV infections are included, as well as vaccine studies in a range of animal models and human trials. Responses that are not specifically defined, such as responses to whole proteins or monoclonal antibody responses to discontinuous epitopes, are summarized at the end of each protein sub-section. Studies describing general HIV responses to the virus, but not to any specific protein, are included at the end of each section.
