Cold Spring Harbor Protocols : now available online for library users.

The library has purchased a subscription to : Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, which is now available online for library users.

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols is an interdisciplinary journal providing a definitive source of research methods in cell, developmental and molecular biology, genetics, bioinformatics, protein science, computational biology, immunology, neuroscience and imaging. Each monthly issue details multiple essential methods—a mix of cutting-edge and well-established techniques. Newly commissioned protocols and unsolicited submissions are supplemented with articles based on Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s renowned courses and manuals. All protocols are up-to-date and presented in a consistent, easy-to-follow format. New protocols will be published continuously. Users can sign up for RSS feeds and Alerts when new protocols appear in the database. All published protocols are peer-reviewed by experts to ensure technical quality. In addition, many of the protocols are ‘field-tested’ in CSHL courses—and fine-tuned based on these results.
All articles should be cited by the complete DOI number (e.g., doi: 10.1101/pdb.prot1234), which can be found at the top of each article.
