BCR Offers BioOne at 10 Percent Savings
By Laura Chittivej
BCR libraries currently paying for a direct subscription to BioOne will save 10 percent off the retail price when choosing to renew as part
of the BCR BioOne group subscription. The BCR BioOne subscription cycle is July 1 through June 30. If your current BioOne
subscription is on a different renewal cycle, BCR will prorate your transfer to the BCR renewal cycle.
BioOne is a unique Web-accessible database aggregation of more than 80 high-impact bioscience research journals. The titles in BioOne are published primarily by scholarly societies, and most have been previously available only in print. As an innovative nonprofit collaboration among scientific societies, libraries, universities and the commercial sector, BioOne is providing an unprecedented level of online access to peer-reviewed research results and other scientific information. From the BioOne Web site, www.bioone.org/, you can view abstracts, find a list of titles and review the most viewed articles.
To obtain a free trial, begin a new subscription or renew access, go to www.bcr.org, choose Reference Databases and then BioOne. For more information, contact Laura Chittivej at (800) 397-1552 ext.121 or lchittive@bcr.org.
