PubMedCentral adds new journals to its backfile content

PubMedCentral has added the large backfile of the ANNALS of SURGERY to its free content.
http://www.pubmedcentral.gov/tocrender.fcgi?journal=230&action=archive


The back issues of this journal are currently being digitized.
While this is in progress you may find gaps in the range of available issues/volumes below.
The backfile consists of v.69 (1919)- v.242:no.4 (2005:Oct).
There is a rolling 6 month delay for current content.


PubMed Central
is a digital archive of life sciences journal literature at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH),
developed and managed by NIH's National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in the 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.
