Award winning database for consumer health information from the National Library of Medicine. Includes a medical encyclopedia, medical dictionary, drug reference and disease information. This database also includes images and surgery videos. A wonderful source for patient information.

A systematic review identifies an intervention for a specific disease or other problem in health care, and determines whether or not this intervention works. To do this authors locate, appraise and synthesize evidence from as many relevant scientific studies as possible. They summarize conclusions about effectiveness, and provide a unique collation of the known evidence on a given topic, so that others can easily review the primary studies for any intervention.

Systematic reviews differ from other types of review in that they adhere to a strict design in order to make them more comprehensive, thus minimizing the chance of bias, and ensuring their reliability. Rather than reflecting the views of the authors, or being based on a partial selection of the literature, (as is the case with many articles and reviews that are not explicitly systematic), they contain all known references to trials on a particular intervention and a comprehensive summary of the available evidence. The reviews are therefore also valuable sources of information for those receiving care, as well as for decision makers and researchers.

The ISI Citation Indexes include the Science Citation Index, the Social Science Citation Index, and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index.
Search for specific articles by subject, author, journal, and/or author address, as well as for articles that cite a known author or work.

The Textbook of Clinical Neurology is designed around the three-step process used by clinical neurologists to diagnosis and treat their patients. It covers anatomical localization and definition of clinical syndromes based on history and examination; the use of diagnostic tools to confirm a diagnosis; and the etiology and pathophysiology of neurological illnesses to establish a cause of disorders. This logical and uniform format makes it easy to use for reference and in clinical practice.

Call#: Biomedical Library QP551.5 .P765 2005

Description:
The rapidly evolving field of protein science has now come to realize the ubiquity and importance of protein-protein interactions. It had been known for some time that proteins may interact with each other to form functional complexes, but it was thought to be the property of only a handful of key proteins. However, with the advent of high throughput proteomics to monitor protein-protein interactions at an organism level, we can now safely state that protein-protein interactions are the norm and not the exception. Thus, protein function must be understood in the larger context of the various binding complexes that each protein may form with interacting partners at a given time in the life cycle of a cell.

PDF of Faculty Senate Statement in support of open access.
New economic experiments and new technologies are beginning to create a greater diversity of complementary -- not competing -- avenues for the dissemination of scholarly work. Institutional repositories such as KU ScholarWorks containing supplementary materials, working papers, and pre-prints extend the options for disseminating scholarly work beyond traditional publication of peer-reviewed articles and books. Open-access journals whose costs are covered through author-fees and other non-subscription revenue are emerging alongside traditional subscription-based journals.
Open access may take the form of posting traditionally published articles (in the author's final draft version) on the Web where they are available to everyone, publishing in one of the more than a thousand open access journals, or making scholarly material openly available in a variety of other ways. Several recent studies have demonstrated that, as suspected, peer-reviewed open access journals are cited more frequently than traditional journals.
Cornell University Library scholary communication policy.
Scholarly communication refers to the formal and informal processes by which the research and scholarship of faculty, researchers, and independent scholars are created, evaluated, edited, formatted, distributed, organized, made accessible, archived, used, and transformed. In recent years the concept of scholarly communication has also begun to connote faculty collaborating with publishers, librarians, and others, in solving the grievous problem of the inability of libraries to keep up with the ever-increasing volume and cost of scholarly resources.
Text of a lecture given by Paul Royster to Library Faculty at the University of Nebraska. Found in their Digital Commons database.
Scholarly journal content is increasingly available in electronic formats, but licenses for electronic content are typically much more expensive than print subscriptions--to account for a larger potential readership. Ease and convenience of use of this content is improved dramatically, but only for those whose libraries can afford to subscribe. Additionally, the terms of the licensing may be restricted.

Scholarly Communication: Information about journal prices, copyright, open access, and more

Scholarly communication is the lifeblood of the university. The dissemination of knowledge is an imperative of land grant universities like Illinois. Anything that threatens access to, or the free flow of, research and ideas is a threat to the health of the entire system

From the dcpriniciples website. "As scholarly, not-for-profit publishers, we reaffirm our commitment to innovative and independent publishing practices and to promoting the wide dissemination of information in our journals. Not-for-profit scientific, technical, and medical publishers are an integral part of the broader scholarly communities supporting scientists, researchers, and clinicians. We work in partnership with scholarly communities to ensure that these communities are sustained and extended, science is advanced, research meets the highest standards, and patient care is enhanced with accurate and timely information."
