Science Study Break at the Life Science Library

Take a break from the books and join UT researchers for cookies and chat about the lighter side of science. Each program in this occasional series features a popular movie or TV show.
Stop by and enjoy! You’ll hear faculty members discuss realms of scientific possibility, evaluate presentations of science in popular media, or mercilessly mock bad science and worse screenwriting.

The next Science Study Break will be on Wednesday, November 8th, at the Life Science Library (MAI 220). Dr. Brent Iverson will examine the bioterrorism storyline from season three of the Fox TV show “24”.

eprintweb

eprintweb is an e-print service in the fields of physics, mathematics, non-linear science, computer science, and quantitative biology, and consists of e-print records which can be browsed and searched.

The contents of eprintweb are provided by arXiv, which is operated and funded by Cornell University Library, a private not-for-profit educational institution, and is also partially funded by the National Science Foundation. The contents of arXiv conform to Cornell University academic standards.  http://eprintweb.org/S/main

Engineering Video tutorials via Youtube

Brian Mathews, an engineering librarian at Georgia Tech, has posted videos demonstrating various engineering library resources. This video shows the basics of Engineering Village, perhaps the most important database for engineers. You can see his other videos, including tutorials on Web of Science and ENGnetBASE, here: http://youtube.com/user/GTMechEngVids

International Journal of Biomedical Sciences

International Journal of Biomedical Sciences (IJBS) is a scholarly open access, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, quarterly and fully refereed journal focusing on theories, methods and applications in biomedical sciences, computational and systems biology.

ASCB Launches Cell Biology Image & Video Library

The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) now offers a source for peer-reviewed, high-quality visual and written resources from cell biology innovators: the newly launched ASCB Image & Video Library (IVL), available at http://cellimages.ascb.org. All IVL items undergo a rigorous review process similar to reviews performed by journals. As a result, users of IVL resources can be confident of the authenticity and importance to cell biology of the images, videos, digital books, and annotations on the website. Many IVL resources have profound historical value; others represent current depictions of myriad cell processes.

The IVL contains digital books in PDF format, JPEG2000 images, and videos in QuickTime format. The annotations provide a rich source of information that can be used as teaching and/or study aids. And the IVL supports the Open Access concept: All resources are freely available for educational and research purposes.
