FEATURE: SPORTS INJURIES - The 2004 Summer Olympic Games open August 13

in Athens, Greece, and much attention will be given to the athletes,

their training,and, inevitably, injuries. Round-the-clock coverage will

also encourage many sedentary “weekend athletes” to rediscover running,

biking, swimming, tennis, and other sports. It’s good to know that you

have a ready resource on all types of sports injuries with the eMedicine

Clinical Knowledge Base. We’ve created an entire volume for sports medicine

and organized it into subsections (Face and Head, Foot and Ankle, Hip, Knee,

Lower Limb, Upper Limb, Neurologic Injuries, Shoulder, Spine, and Wrist

and Hand). “Introductory Topics in Sports Medicine” covers the disabled

athlete, special issues for female athletes, exercise physiology,

exercise-induced asthma, and much more. You can access this volume from

the table of contents, or simply search on the topic you wish to research.

Original research articles will remain completely free to access, the full text of all other articles (including Editorials, Reviews and Letters etc) will be free for the first week of publication and then under access controls for the next 51 weeks. After one year, access controls will be lifted and all content will once again be free.
Abstracts and extract views of all articles will remain completely free. Other website content and functions will also not be under access controls at any time. These include the search page, email alerts, rapid responses, Q&A, Medscape conferences, and UK health news.

OmniMedicalSearch.com

OmniMedicalSearch.com is a metasearch engine. It does not operate the same way as search engines like Google or Yahoo. Instead of assembling our own database of websites to present our search results, we return the search results from other search engines in various combinations. When you submit a search term, our metasearch software sends that query, simultaneously, to other search engines, websites and databases. When it returns, you are presented with the top results of ALL the search engines and databases you selected.

That's how a metasearch engine works. And unlike generalized, commercially focused metasearch engines, OmniMedicalSearch.com DOES NOT include results from Pay Per Click, profit driven search engines.

Our metasearch engine is designed to search 25 different sources in 3 different categories so you can find everything you need from one convenient website. Each database we query is unbiased and non-commercial in nature and an established authority for delivering responsible medical information.

Medical Search Engines: With OmniMedicalSearch.com, you can search up to 12 different medical search engines. To help make this function more suitable to various types of users, we've created five different custom search options.

Journal of Clinical Investigation backfiles added to PubMedCentral

The following backfiles have been added to PubMedCentral for the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

v.1 (1924)-v.32(1953), v.35 (1956), v.38 (1959)-v.71 (1953:June),v.72:no.4 (1983:October)-v.96(1995), v.107 (2001)-v.112 (2003)

PubMed Central is a digital archive of life sciences journal literature, developed and managed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM). With PubMed Central, NLM is taking the lead in preserving and maintaining unrestricted access to the electronic literature, just as it has done for decades with the printed biomedical literature. PubMed Central aims to fill the role of a world class library in the digital age. It is not a journal publisher. NLM believes that giving all users free and unrestricted access to the material in PubMed Central is the best way to ensure the durability and utility of the archive as technology changes over time.

ScienceDirect schedules maintainance

http://www.sciencedirect.com

Please note that between 08:00am and 12:30pm U.S. EST, on Saturday 17th July 2004 access to ScienceDirect will be temporarily interrupted. We apologize for any inconvenience, and will have full functionality back at your service after the scheduled outage.

Please make note of this for staff working with users on Saturday.

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy online backfile completed

The following content is now available in PubMed Central as part of NLM's
project to digitize the back issues of PMC journals:

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy [0066-4804]
v.1:no.1 (1972:January) - v.48:no.1 (2004:January)
http://www.pubmedcentral.gov/tocrender.fcgi?journal=82&action=archive

This range of volumes completes the scanned archive for this title.

Further information on NLM's back issue scanning project of PMC journals is
available at:

Web of Science

Web of Science has a whole new look -- redesigned screens are everywhere. Take a look and make use of the online tutorials.

OCLC FirstSearch service enhanced

The OCLC FirstSearch service now includes functionality that allows for
links back to every configured web based catalog from the FirstSearch
"libraries that own item" page. If your institution has links from
FirstSearch back to its web based local catalog configured in the
FirstSearch administrative module, your local catalog will be available to
every FirstSearch user as a hotlink from this page within the FirstSearch
service.

Previously, users only had the ability to search the catalog of the
institution with which their FirstSearch account was associated. With this
enhancement, users are now able to search the catalog of many institutions
that hold the item for which they searched, allowing easy access to local
information such as call number, item location and shelf status.

Your access to full text research
All full text research from 1900 Elsevier journals is now provided exclusively by ScienceDirect, the world's largest database of peer-reviewed research.
Containing over 5.8 million articles, and renowned for its reliability, the ScienceDirect environment also links to non-Elsevier content through CrossRef and MEDLINE providing access to a wider scope of information than you had previously enjoyed on BioMedNet.
If you currently have full text access to journal content on BioMedNet you can continue to access this on ScienceDirect without any interruption:

If your institute subscribes to BioMedNet Reviews, further information on accessing review articles in ScienceDirect is available here.

If you have a personal subscription to one of the Trends or Current Opinion titles or Drug Discovery Today you can find out more about your new point of access here.

Those institutes with paid subscriptions to the MKMD database will still be able to access it on a new platform after 30 June. More information will be sent to you closer to the time.

Further information about these specific changes is being sent to subscribers separately.

OCLC Open WorldCat Project

Yahoo! Search Joins OCLC Open WorldCat Project
by Barbara Quint , Information Today
Information Today, July 6, 2004
http://www.infotoday.com/newsbreaks/nb040706-2.shtml
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OCLC (http://www.oclc.org) has expanded its online library locator service for books to Yahoo! Search. Last October, I reported on a new pilot project between OCLC and Google that opened library holdings information for just under 2 million items in the WorldCat union catalog (extracted from the 55 million items with over 900 million holdings recorded; see http://www.infotoday.com/newsbreaks/nb031027-2.shtml). In January 2004, Yahoo! approached OCLC to arrange access to Open WorldCat records under Yahoo!’s new Content Acquisition Program. (For a description of that program, see http://www.infotoday.com/newsbreaks/nb040308-1.shtml.) While Google took months to spider all the OCLC data, Yahoo! moved very quickly. The agreement was signed May 21; content first appeared on Yahoo! Search May 28; and full crawling and loading of the 1,993,073 set was completed June 6. Overall, OCLC seems to consider the Open WorldCat project a wonderful success and plans to expand it.
