Wiley-Interscience changes policy for personalized features....
http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/home
If you choose to register for any of the personalized features of the site—such as table of contents alerts, search alerts, saved articles or purchase single Pay-Per-View articles—you will need to update your login. New users registering on the site for the first time will be guided through a similar procedure to enter and validate their e-mail logins.
Complete text of the new policy is entered below

Subject: Notice of Wiley InterScience Registration Policy Change
NOTICE OF POLICY CHANGE
E-mail Address Now Required for
Wiley InterScience User Logins
Beginning August 15th 2005, Wiley InterScience will require individual users of the site, who access online subscriptions via a username and password, to update their registration information with a valid e-mail address in place of a self-selected username.
This new policy is designed to help improve security and reduce account duplication. Requiring an e-mail address as a login has become widely standard practice among many high-profile commercial websites.
Now, when a registered user comes to the Wiley InterScience site, and enters their existing login, the following will occur:
User enters current login and password.
User is prompted to enter name, country, and an area of interest, along with a single valid e-mail address.
User receives a one-time confirmation e-mail, then clicks on the authentication link in the message. The verification process is complete.
Afterward, users can login to the site with just their e-mail and password. (NOTE: confirmation links expire after 24 hours; after that, users can re-submit their info, if necessary)
This is a one-time process. Aside from the confirmation e-mail, users will not be sent any further e-mail alerts from Wiley InterScience unless they explicitly opt-in to receive such messages.
If you no longer use your Wiley InterScience login, or access online content only via institutional IP-based subscriptions, then you do not need update your account. Only individuals who access personal, member, or complimentary subscriptions via a login will have to do this.
Similarly, if you choose to register for any of the personalized features of the site—such as table of contents alerts or purchase single Pay-Per-View articles—you will need to update your login. New users registering on the site for the first time will be guided through a similar procedure to enter and validate their e-mail logins.

Animals Warn of Human Health Hazards in New “Canary Database”
Animals Warn of Human Health Hazards in New “Canary Database”
Peter Rabinowitz, M.D.
http://canarydatabase.org
New Haven, Conn. — Yale School of Medicine has launched a state-of-the-art database funded in part by the National Library of Medicine, called the Canary Database, containing scientific evidence about how animal disease events can be an early warning system for emerging human diseases.
There have long been reports of animals succumbing to environmental hazards before humans show signs of illness, according to the project’s leader, Peter Rabinowitz, M.D., associate professor of medicine in The Yale Occupational and Environmental Medicine Program at Yale University School of Medicine.
“This concept of a ‘canary in a coal mine’ suggests that animals may be useful sentinels for human environmental health hazards,” said Rabinowitz. He points to the practice in the United States and Britain where coal miners would bring canaries into coal mines as an early warning signal for carbon monoxide and other poisonous gases. The birds, being more sensitive, would become sick before the miners, who would then have a chance to escape or put on protective respirators.
Rabinowitz said several episodes of illness in animals have been clearly linked to human health threats, including cats and mercury poisoning, and more recently wild bird mortality and West Nile Virus infection.
Rabinowitz said non-human animals could be more sensitive to many of the agents that are potential biological or chemical weapons and could therefore serve as “sentinels” for a terrorist attack. At the same time, the public health system has been slow to use animal sentinel data to detect and reduce human environmental health hazards. Rabinowitz said there is a lack of ongoing scientific communication between animal health and human health professionals about emerging disease threats. This has made it difficult to assemble the evidence about linkages between animal diseases and human health.
To address this need, Rabinowitz and his team developed The Canary Database of Animals as Sentinels of Human Environmental Health Hazards, a web-based collection of animal sentinel studies that have been collected and curated in terms of their relevance to human health. The project represents a collaborative effort between the Yale Occupational and Environmental Medicine Program, the Yale Center for Medical Informatics and the U.S. Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Center.
The database team is currently developing a series of evidence-based reviews focusing on the use of animal sentinel data in human health decision-making. “To do this,” Rabinowitz said, “we have to apply the principles of evidence-based medicine to a whole new field: the interface of animal and human health.”
Meanwhile, experts at the Yale Center for Medical Informatics are creating state-of-the-art knowledge integration software and information visualization tools allowing users to explore the rich database. Animal health experts at the USGS National Wildlife Health Center, the nation’s primary wildlife disease research facility, provided background on potential disease transmission between humans and wildlife for emerging diseases such as monkey pox, SARS, Avian influenza, West Nile Virus and Chronic Wasting Disease.

A completely new Cambridge Journals Online (CJO) will be launched on 8th
August 2005
In keeping with our ongoing commitment to provide the highest standards of
service to the academic community, Cambridge University Press is pleased
to announce a completely new journal hosting platform. The new site will
provide increased capacity and improved performance compared to the
previous version, supporting our provision of the best and latest research
to all users worldwide.
The new site provides powerful new features for both content-users and
librarians:
● High capacity and performance
● Flexibility to enable rapid development in response to your needs
● Clear, clean look and feel
● New information displays
● New account management and administration features
● New, powerful search functions
● New IP management functions
● New FAQs and Help
● Full ATHENS compliance
● OAI PMH compatibility
● Atom and RSS feeds
● Article citation downloads
● Next issue publication dates
● Open URL enabled
● Greater range of trial samples and free offers
All existing URL links into CJO will be maintained and will be fully
operational
All users please note:
To perform this upgrade we will be temporarily interrupting our service to
all CJO users. We will be taking the site offline at 12.00 midnight BST
(British Summer Time) on the 7th August 2005 until 9.00am BST on the 8th
August. In U.S. EDT (Eastern Daylight Savings Time) the site will be
offline from 7pm on the 6th August until 4 am on the 7th August. We will
make every effort to complete the upgrade as quickly as possible and we
will bring the new site online as soon as the migration of content and
related data is completed. We apologize for the loss of service during
this process and we hope that the new platform will more than compensate
for any inconvenience caused.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the migration process or
the new platform please contact: journals@cambridge.org
