Two New Scientific Resources
Now Available Through BCR

By Rosario Garza

BCR is offering two new science-related electronic resources: Nature Methods from Nature Publishing Group and AccessMedicine from McGraw-Hill.

Nature Methods
Nature Publishing Group (NPG) has announced that its new monthly title, Nature Methods, is scheduled to be launched in October. Described as a "new cutting-edge methodology journal for life scientists and chemists," Nature Methods is the newest addition to the highly-regarded group of journals from NPG.

Nature Methods will cover such wide-ranging topics as recombinant DNA and protein, lab-on-a-chip technologies, immunological techniques and bioinformatics and cheminformatics. Nature Methods will be organized into sections, including articles/reviews, advances, technology features and protocols.

The site license pricing is based on the science FTE count for academic institutions. For corporate, government and research institutes, the price is based on the FTE staff count of all R&D staff within the institute. A special prepublication discount is available on BCR's Web site, www.bcr.org/reference/Nature/.

McGraw-Hill's AccessMedicine
BCR is joining a nationwide effort to bring McGraw-Hill's newest offering, AccessMedicine, to interested libraries. Access Medicine is a new medical information gateway to a suite of clinical and educational online references that provides immediate access to valuable medical information sources. Among the titles already available for subscription are Harrison's Online, Hurst's The Heart, The Metabolic and Molecular Bases of Inherited Diseases, Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment and Lange titles (basic science and clinical). Interested libraries can subscribe to any or all of these already-available titles through AccessMedicine.

Additional titles will be added to AccessMedicine during the next two years, including Goodman & Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine and Schwartz's Principles of Surgery.

For more information, visit www.accessmedicine.com or contact Rosario Garza (rgarza@bcr.org) or Karen Graham (kgraham@bcr.org) at BCR. Pricing is available on BCR's Web site.
